| Fun place to rock climb. I also climbed an unnamed ( I think ) peak out of Indian Cove campground. It's apparently the largest peak in the Indian Cove area and some class 3 routes can be found on both sides. Fun little day hike. | |

| Great place for cracks! Got my first two trad leads (5.7s). Had four solid days of climbing. First day was wet with snowmelt! It warmed up quite a bit by the end of the t'giving week, but we still managed to melt snow for water in the campground!! | |

| Sweet climbing for sure. The weather wasn't as great as I was hoping but it was ok. Climbed Double Cross, Toe Jam, Double Dip, Stitcher Quits, Loose Lady, Hobbit Roof, and many others. I hope to get back maybe during the fall. | |

| Most recent trip was MLK weekend 2005. Took a dayhike with climbing gear up Rattlesnake Canyon. After about 1.5 miles we cut across to our camp in Indian cove, a beautiful and very challenging day of scrambling and cross country route finding. | |

| Did some climbing with some friends who drove all the way out from Texas. I flew into L.A., climbed in Joshua Tree a couple of days with my friends, then climbed some route right on the beach a friend of mine from L.A. knew about. | |

| This was my first trip to Josh and it was tons of fun. Went with a bunch of really good climbers and was amazed that there were easy things for me to do that were fun for them, too. | |

| Only been here once, too many good climbing places closer to home, but it was a nice winter treat. | |

| We had a great time on our yearly trip to J Tree. We had about 20 climbers ranging in age from 11 to 50. Thanks Venture Crew 1214 Fullerton for Hosting the trip. Indian Cove was great and the weather was the best. | |

| I've summited Joshua Tree Ntl. Park many times, & many different places. Have wonderful memories from there, & anticipate & hope for many more to come! Smelling like J-Tree granite after a long day of climbing, surrounded by all of the rock formations & funked-out J-trees, with an impossibly big desert sky above (esp. full of stars), is sublime. Have hung out with some great people there, definitely one of the nicest things. First 'official' 5th-class free solo there, too. Even just beer & kind while chillin' is great there (well, even better than most places). Fav' routes there (so far) include Stichter Quits (face), Double Cross (crack), Sail Away (comb. face & crack), & Palm Reader (crack). Some of the most despicable routes I've ever done are there also, most notably Dogleg (terrible butt-scumming chimney/off-width) & Gaz Giz. | |

| Lara | Route Climbed: Stichter Quits Date Climbed: May 2005, Nov 2003, Oct 2001 | |
| This is one of my favorite places on earth to wake up. Stichter Quits was a highlight of my 2003 trip. The most recent trip, May 2005, was equally memorable. I loved many climbs including Cranny. I was lucky enought to have the fabulous company of Dirk, Gordon, Eszter, and Vasilis. The only things that would've made this trip better would have been another week and faster regrowth of the skin on my fingertips. Mount Ryan is also a divine sunset hike. | |
