Amazing Climb. 5 Star all the way. This is a must if you are in J. Tree

Big Moe done the way it ought to be! Darrell Logan (45) sends it the way Bachar intended. Today was supposed to be a practice day, but the world lined up and he went for it. Fortunately i squeezed a little extra life out of my battery to cathch this and several other amazing pics

This is the 3rd picture in the series of John Bachar climbing Out for Lunch (5.11a) in Joshua Tree during the weekend of April 14-17, 2006.

My buddy and I were in JT April 14-17 2006 and met a nice fellow who gave us advice on where to set up TR (he recommended Thin Wall). We chatted a bit, and then he proceeded to solo 2 5.8ish routes in front of us, then walked off and soloed Out for Lunch (5.11a). Our jaws dropped. Weeks later, after seeing pictures of him in recent climbing magazines, I've come to realize we met and watched John Bachar free soloing in JT. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. This is 1 of 4 pics.

This is the second picture in the series of John Bachar climbing Out for Lunch (5.11a) in Joshua Tree during the weekend of April 14-17, 2006.

This is the 4th and final picture in the series of John Bachar climbing Out for Lunch (5.11a) in Joshua Tree during the weekend of April 14-17, 2006.

Me on the upper part of Bambi Meets Godzilla. I think more Godzilla than Bambi. But a fun long climb in JT.

Daniel Zatkovich working up to the second-bolt crux of Stichter Quits, arguably the most popular 5.7 clip-up in J-Tree - it's located within walking distance of Joshua Tree's version of Camp 4, the Hidden Valley campsite. Photographed by Noel Doughty.

Paul looking casual on Halfway to Paradise. Another party with rope on Effigy Too further to the right. 10 Feb 2007.

It was right after two days of rain so everything on Echo Rock was bombed. We found this pretty cool looking crack with no wait and that was good enough for us. It could be bouldered as well, but it is a highball.

The bottom section is easy with a nice juggy crack to pull up on. The top is slaby and becomes difficult to protect.

this is a view from the campground into the valley. i managed to shoot the whole progression as it started with light colors then slowly got darker and darker. i have more if anyone would like to see them.

Man my Family climbs hard. This is my little sister climbing a V1. After Climbing a 10c and 10d earlier in the day.

It looks like this hueco was designed for her. She would later lead this route.

This is Carlos on the second move of the Mulligan Variation V8.

This is Chad Gilbert showing us how to do Igneous Ambiance. This is the crux move off a sharp crimp. Very fun problem.

Raymond starts up a fun steep jug haul in Echo Cove. I believe this route is Ben Dover, but I'm not sure. It is the left of two routes just uphill from Classic Thin Crack.

Friend chris passing a 4.5C3 on his way up this random crack.

Chris Werner dances on the crystals of Forbidden Paradise (5.10c), Echo Rock, JT. Check out my adventure photography site for more pictures!

This is a shot of me on eileen dover this past halloween weekend. The picture was taken my buddy dave. The crux for me and anyone else under 5'10'' was probably the first move.

this pict is of me off to the right of the route that i wanted but it was still fun from there on up.

Pic of me leading Pope's Crack...amazing climb!

Dave climbed stichter quits on a very windy day this march to record his first ever J-tree lead. He surprised everybody by making it to the top with that damn cowboy hat STILL on.
