I keep coming back to Blackjack - right off the road, afternoon shade, and no excuses not to send. After 5 or 6 times on it I still find the moves intriguing and unique and the position well worth the price of admission at a reasonable 10+/11-.
I don't ever see anyone on it, though folks be scamperin' back there in droves, but Rollercoaster (next to Rollerball) is a less popular harder version of the two. An insecure move down low and a powerful roof up top, fun stuff!
Anything you guys like?

One of my faves has always been Count Dracula. Another nice one is Freckle Face. And no waiting in line for those.
Another good one is Yellow Brick Road. And of course there's The Realm of the Flying Monkeys. Sonic Temple. The list gets longer the more I think...

Electric Blue.
I remember the first time I did that one I was on top and I yelled down to my partner I though it was .11d. Kevin Powell and his partner were walking up to do it. We were back at the base when Kevin topped out. Then, in his characteristic voice, down came ".11d? .11d my ass. That ain't no stinkin' .11d!"
He wasn't sure it even rated .11a...

I hadn't climbed in JT enough to have a favorite and certainly nothing as specific as a face climb...
I only remember making attempts at a 12+ something on the backside of a formation I don't know the name of. 6 or 8 slashes make their way to chains stationed some maybe 40" off the deck. Big moves are what I remember along with the space between the slashes in the wall and how few of them there were. (At this point I think I have to say that my memory of this climb at this point is such a distant memory that all of these details may be incorrect).
I was able to take about four attempts at the thing before I stopped trying... it was not as important to me as it was my friend Tom.

I loved Decompensator. A great little adventure wandering up perfect iron grains. Grain Surgery is pretty fun, and the high-step maybe overrated. That corridor has been the scenes of many of my foibles, from Sidewinder to Jumpin' Jack Crack to Super Roof. Ah, the never-ending learning curve...

First time going into the Wonderland I saw somebody on Figures and wanted to climb it, then we saw him whip right before the 1st belay. We continued on and stuck with our original plan, Mental Physics. Never did get to climb Figures.

johnr9q;......The last time a "complete" guide to joshua tree came out was 1992 with Vogel's awesome rock climbing guide to joshua tree;... a lot of climbs have been established since 1992;...Joshua Tree is a big and sometimes confusing place...that's 22 years........with over 8000 climbs in the Park......yeah;..there are lots of "unknown" routes. .......most people aren't that interested in "newer" routes;..there busy ticking off the ones they already know about and wish to do!........crazy...

Ha Ha Ha, Todd. The picture of me belaying Tucker wearing his hoodie has to be the worst route in JT. I recall it being called " The Shittiest Route in Joshua Tree" . Repeated ascents will hopefully turn it into a pile of sand.

If that's not Polyamorous Perverse, it's just like it. FA involved dirt clods collapsing underfoot. I don't think you need to worry about it getting many repeats.
(Polyamorous Perverse=someone that will fu@# anything. Todd and Tucker will climb anything)
