Joshua Tree " An Old Friend"

For Thanksgiving everyone seemed to be making their way to Bishop, so a few of us decided to head south to Joshua Tree. I used to climb in the area when I lived in the central valley, but I have not been back since. I really do miss this area and do not understand its lack of visitors, so a trip was in order.

During this trip I was able to meetup with a great crew of climbers including Ben Polanco, Matus Sobolic, and Michelle Yi was actually able to make it out to the park. We spent the entire day out on Geology Tour Road and enjoyed some great classics including Mirage, Pinched Loaf, and Slashface. Next,we made our way to Iron Resolution so Ben could begin to work out the moves...damn thing looks hard.

Right now, due to the high winds we are held up in a cheap motel, that is right, two beds and six people...you do the math. Tomorrow, we will be making our way out to the Rosetta Stone hopefully we can actually find it this time to attempt on old Rob Mulligan line. Hope everyone enjoyed a fun Thanksgiving.
