Here Aaron is seeing if the sandstone friction really will hold his body weight on this "moderate" (V7ish) problem.

The sun was up early and so were we to get a jump on the day. JBMF (John Bachar Memorial Foundation) is a Joshua Tree classic, that I suppose is rated V5, but a J-Tree V5! It was the first of a handful of fun morning sends (this shot was at 7:00 am). It was made even more fun by the catcalls from friends checking out the "chick" and the lack of a crashpad which redefines the word "commitment" for the final dyno to the top!
