Ascent Notes for: Figures on a Landscape - 5.10b Average Rating : 4.85/5

probably the best route i have ever done.... i cleaned the first pitch (which bar none is the hardest) and then led a combined 2 and 3 pitches in one single pitch. amazing exposure and definitely goes at a typical josh rating... not for the faint of heart...

led P1

Worth the hype. One of the best routes in SoCal.

At the top, walk toward the South Astrodome. There is a rap anchor (bit old, but decent). A 70m rope and a bit of swinging will get you over to the P1 anchors on Repo Man where you can make a second rap down to your packs (or set up a toprope on this fun 12a R)

Would be the best route at any crag in New England. Led pitches 1 & 2 with Frank N. doing the cams and jams on pitch. Brilliant climbing up an imposing headwall. The bolts are EXACTLY where they need to be to keep the rabble off but keep the route safe. Not nearly as scary as I expected but way better than advertised (if you can believe it).

Scariest climb ever. Led the second pitch. Did a scary, must-not-fall move to make it to the second belay station. Had to dig deep to muster the cajones to continue to the crack above. Way run-out for someone used to well-bolted puss climbs. Hung in there and styled it no falls!

half way up the first pitch... basically, I was scared. lol

Wow, the view, the climbing, the location...wow

good time in the backcountry!
this is not a sport rout!

Yeah I remember the runouts, the crux, the descent climbing down the side of the dome. I love this kind of adventure and longer routes so Figures on a Landscape is one of my all time favorites!! (roped hang dogged solo)

Still my favorite at Josh. Always cold, always fun.
