All shamelessly ripped off pictures of Joshua Tree's Finest.
As for Cutting Edge, a great line for sure, but not even JTree's Finest.

That's for the "jt finest" plug.....
A Cosgrove route that looks very difficult and has had very few ascents...

^^^^^
seems to describe most of Coz's routes. Don't think he has any 'trade routes' that I've heard of, all seem realllllly hard lol.

^^^^^ and featuring long moves or reaches...hence the fewer repeats than other hard lines there.
This one is no exception.

I have a friend who has climbed Skinhead Arete as a warm-up, The Hydra, and a couple other hard things in JT. But he just couldn't seem to get The Cutting Edge done.
From the base, it looks hard as f*#k.

I tried that thing a bit about 8 years ago. Vicious crux seam to be it the v10 range. It's not 13b that's for sure. Wonder if its ever seen a repeat.

Love headstone and those lines on the back I always wondered who could do them. Now I get my answer SCOTT COSGROVE ROCKS! I always liked the photo in climbing magazine of him on G-String but that's the only photo I ever saw of him in action!

Isn't there some shot of Bridwell on that thing? Or was it another .13 arete?
Seemed harder than I thought the Bird was capable of pulling but ya never know...

Bridwell, grabbed the easiest section of climbing on the route, probably the only section he could hold on to and posed down. He never came close to climbing it and his posing was shameful at best.
Getting caught making out with your cousin is shameful, posing is just silly ;D
Maybe I should grab some lycra and lower to the 5.10 section on Games?
No, probably someone will find that fishy.
hehe.

I have only climbed a small collection of routes at JT, but I really like Run for your Life, Illusion Dweller, Loose lady, real good routes.
