What a gorgeous warm sunny day out a Fairview Mountain today! We did lots of granite sport routes, a bit short, a bit grainy, but a lot of fun.

Wow, it's hard to imagine that a blizzard is hitting the east coast tomorrow after two hot days of climbing in Joshua Tree.

Yesterday... Some super short flaky volcanic plug that prompted me to triple up my pro down low at the crux. But hey, it was better than politics or work.
Is 12 pieces bad for 30ft?

Left a bottle of Maker's Mark and replaced the summit register can on Camel Rock yesterday. Last ascent appears to have been about two and a half decades ago.
The variety of hardware in place certainly spans a wide range (pre-1950 cowboy route drilled spikes and spiked hollow pipes, an ancient horizontally placed Stubai ice piton, 1/4" star-drives, weird partially-threaded machine studs, probable 1960s vintage white angle iron hangers on 1/4" buttonheads, fixed LAs and a couple newer bolts).
Day before that I opened up for a new bombay chimney, and also a sweet little 5.10+ overhanging fists to thin hands rig, both on immaculate granite at 8200'.

There are two draughts off it from the bottle's porters but sufficient sauce remains (and it is a screw-cap, so no dried-up glaze due to popped top during gas expansion). This tower is up near Laramie, and I cannot un-recommend our path up the NE crack on P1 emphatically enough. I enjoyed at least 100 cactus spines, dried up bits of raptor prey (big snake spine, numerous quadriped bones); the cactus spine:packrat excrement ratio is an ideal unity. I recommend the cowboy route or the mystery masonry hanger line into the roofs on the west side. P2 is short jamming and completely junky, but at least it lacks the crud collection of our P1.
Stil then, you are looking for warm climbing and clean good sandstone. Head west instead! That junkpile will always be there and I doubt anybody'll be beating you to the summit bottle.

Spires by Laramie, Nice... My brother has climbed on the North Platte River north of Laramie I believe. He said there is a lot of rock. I think they climbed a two pitch dome or something.

not me JR, but I think those dudes were placing the same hardware that the cowboys left on their pipe line.
but my voice is gravellier and oozes more testosterone than that of the narrator though
