| Tom Fralich | Multiple Trips | |
| I've made 6 trip to Joshua Tree, with another planned in November 2007. The first was with my brother in 2002 when I was just starting as a trad leader. Lots of great experiences there. Favorite routes include Overseer (5.9), Cakewalk (5.9), Dappled Mare (5.8), and Touch and Go (5.9). See my personal website for a complete list of J Tree routes that I've climbed plus some photos. | |

| First time out climbing . . .ever! I climbed a few routes over the weekend. Got snowed on during the night, but had clear cold days to climb. Returned in February for more climbing. I"m sure I'll be back many times. | |

| eric b | Headstone and Walk On The Wild Side | |
| Headstone was a cool warmup. WotWS was an awesome face climb, however the route finding was a little tough cuz i was looking for the shine of the next bolt and went right on the top of the second pitch because i couldnt see the bolt to the left. I got on to a much harder climb with a nasty run-out use care! | |

| theronmoon | Bouldering | |
| I have only done scrambling ,hiking, and cross country hiking in J-Tree, oh yeah partying but nothing roped. I love this park, every direction you find something cool to do. Best time to hike though is at night with the moon up. | |

| Had big plans for this trip, but ended up raining most of the trip. But because of the rain we met a very nice couple and ended up climbing with them that only one nice day. Did some bouldering before that and lots of hikes. Very nice time and can not wait to go back. Hopefully it will be a dryer winter… In that one day we climbed: Double Dip on Echo rock, Eff Eight in Mounds area (near Echo rock), Solar Technology and Men with Cow's Heads on Atlantis Wall in Lost Horse Area | |

| Sort of like walking slackjawed into a big book store and knowing there isn't enough time to read all these damn fine books. Life is way too short while being bigger than one lifetime. That seems to be the conundrum when a good day is had at Joshua Tree. | |

| Rileywyna | Route Climbed: 130 total Date Climbed: 1997 to present | |
| Spent at least 2 months of my life in J-tree. Best day's are to many to mention. But the day I on-sighted Hobbit's Roof and 6 or 7 other classics stands out. Also spending time with my sister, my main climbing partner Thomas and the day we met my next climbing partner Schaffer. Also climbing some cool routes with my friend Laura. | |

| stolenj | Route Climbed: 5.9 + the Grotto, 5.9 Echo Valley Date Climbed: December 2004 | |
| Spent nearly two weeks in J-Tree, was with a group of climbers who were more experienced and so I learned a lot about trad-climbing, anchor building and other climbing techniques. Did bouldering, sport and trad climbing. Got crowded as colleges let out and the park filled with climbers. Grotto was one of the more adventurous trips away from popular climbs around camp. First time to J-Tree, beautiful rock, limitless climbs, perfect weather. | |

| MichaelJ | Route Climbed: As many as I could Date Climbed: Late October 2005 | |
| My third trip to the Tree (in the year I've been climbing) and each one gets better. Climbed as a team of three with Damien and Kristina. As D said, I was spoiled with two belay bitches and never had to coil a single rope! Touch and Go (5.9 or so) was the highlight but all the climbing was great--except for Dogleg (5.8 my ass), which I didn't enjoy but D. aced. | |

| How can you even be on this site and call yourself a climber without being to the Mecca that is JT. Sail Away is THE best route in the park! | |

| R Pollard | Route Climbed: Indian Cove Date Climbed: April 1, 2005 | |
| My boys and I spent two days at Indian Cove. One day of them scrambling all over the rocks at our campsite, then a day hike the next day up Rattlesnake Canyon. The weather was perfect, with water in the creek and perfect temperatures. Spring is the time for Indian Cove, be back next year for sure | |

| ksolem | Route Climbed: Various Date Climbed: 1981 - As long as I last... | |
| Finally got to Josh in 1981 after arriving from NYC. At first it didn't seem right as I was used to climbing on "cliffs." My 1st route here was Lazy Daze, and that began the love affair. Some favorites over the years: Middle Age Crazy, Split Personality, Rubicon, Black President. Some FA's: Hang 'Em High, Siezure, Dyno Soar... (I think Shortimer and I got the second ascent on Games Without Frontiers.) | |
