Beautiful solid fist jambs on this amazing climb 5.10b crack. The top part is tuff. Takes great gear. Be prepared to have fun climbing this route. To bad it's not longer. Great job Jeff taking the photo.

Armando looking very smooth on fisticuffs. 5.10b. At the crux towards the top he took one fall. The photo taken by Jeff.

Shot from low angle inside the pit. Standing on the top of the blocks near the water bottle, you can reach up past the lower scoop left of the crack. Topping out and walking off the back will land you in front of Solosby Wall. 11 Dec 2004

Nice clean rock. Positive holds. Good face climbing. Too bad it's not another 80' longer.

Punchin' fists on Fisticuffs 5.10b

I remember this climb like it was yesterday - almost at the top - that awesome feeling of almost success - and then you hit the hardest move. somehow i pulled it off, so now i have to lead it!

Run for your Life is a fantastic Face route in Joshua tree. The pro is OK by Josh Standard but you're relieved when you make the fiirst couple clips. SusanJoy likes this type of stuff and here assumes one of those slab climbing only positions.

Run For Your Life .10b is a Joshua Tree classic. It's located in Real Hidden Valley. The rock is superb quality, just grippy enough but not too sharp. The start of the climb is a bit runout but much easier than .10b. Serious fun!
