Rollercoaster or rollerball? In steves cnyn/ outback? same one ? I love that route. It has some fcrumbly kugs at the start to a ledge with a funky lieback and a bolt to a sweet roof with great gear. Good stuff 10c. AND the 11c bolt route to the left is awsome as well. Don't forget Room To Shroom in barkerdam. YEEEEAAHHHH!!!! Josh Is THE BEST!!

Rollerball (.10b) and Rollercoster are great routes, and Roleerball is one of my faves.
A few others:
-Ball Bearing (both pitches)
-Illusion Dweller
-Sidewinder
-Right Ski Track of Intersection Rock

Double Cross. Enjoyed Mental Physics a lot, too!
Favorite if I could lead Josh 5.10? Figures on a Landscape. I lust after that climb.
GO

Happy holidays,
My Josh favorites are by and large not the super hard routes, and I'll mention a couple that might be lost in time, so to speak.
Imaginary Voyage -- hard lyback, big roof, sketchy lip, all in just 50 feet and only .10d.
Are you Experienced. Bottom is trickly thin crack at .11b or so. Above is a shallow overhanging splitter--around 10 plus--that has to be lybacked and will scare the crap out of you. Even on a toprope it's exciting.
Comic Book. Pretty long by Josh standards. Classic 5.9 entry pitch followed by .10A flare and easer stuff to top. Very nice surroundings.
Rubicon with direct start. A desert classic.
Hercules. If you have real fat hands like mine this will seem more like .12 plus than .12a or b. Super steep.
Dappled Mare. Only 5.8 or so but a blast and in a neat place and fairly long two pitches.
Hyperion. That first pitch is one for the ages. Plenty of truly hard stuff in the same area if you're feeling keen.
Such a Savage. Steep for Josh face work.
Sidewinder. Very novel moves.
Middle Aged Crazy. Probably the cleanest of all the face routes in this area.
Jeronamo. 5.7 never gets better.
Black President. Rarely done.
I could go on and on . . .
Ciao!
JL

Left Ski Track - 5.11a
Like Right Ski Track but more sustained, more interesting, and more aesthetic.
O'Kelley Crack - 5.10c
As good as the best single pitches in Indian Creek, one of the most beautiful and fun hand cracks anywhere in the world.
Hotrocks - 5.11b
Intricate and spicy (on lead) face and crack climbing, a true "jtree" pitch
Poodles are People Too - 5.10b
Another classic thin jtree crack with a lot of face moves, this one protects better though
Bird of Fire - 5.10a
Extremely high quality climbing, location and rock
Touch and Go - 5.9
5.9 Doesn't get much better, in my opinion!
Stuff that I haven't gotten to but are high on the list:
Equinox
Such a Savage
Figures (no good excuse for not having done this yet!)
Scary Poodles
Hyperion
Vector
Asteroid Crack (look beautiful but looks savagely difficult)

Sentimental favorite: Walk on the Wild Side (5.8 barely). My first multi-pitch lead. Two long pitches (with a 60m rope.)

Alright... I can't pick just one, but I will pick a few favorites:
1) Dogleg
2) 10.aish thing to the right of Double Cross (unamed or not in the book yet) Crack beginning and end to face 3 or 4 bolts - With great moves!
3) Just Another Roadside Attraction
4) Cake Walk / Nobody Walks in L.A.
5) Axe of Dog in Echo
6) Sail Away
7) Fote Hog
8) Catch a Falling Star
O.k. I will stop now - but this is definitely not all of them :lol:

Some I haven't seen mentioned:
Dung Fu - deserves more stars than it gets. Nice hands to start. Chimney above.
Light Sabre
The chimney on Outhouse Rock. I don't remember what it's called, maybe NE Chimney? Very pleasant. A stroll of a route.
39 Steps - Another awesome stroll.
