Start about 10 feet down and left of the pine tree and Two Dopes on Pork at a thin vertical crack.

Climb up a short left facing flake then climb the thin vertical crack to the top.

Start just right of the pod and short right facing corner that is the line of Three Friends and a Baby.

Climb the face just right of the large pod along some plates (5.8 R) to reach an obvious, grainy, hand crack, which is followed to the summit.

Start just left of Kodas Silence at the next vertical seam with two bolts.

Climb up the seam past two bolts (crux), then up an easier vertical crack to the summit.

Start about 12 feet left of Light Touch and just left of a nolina. This nolina is about eight feet right of a pine tree.

Do the first (crux) move of Three Dorks on Dope, then go up and left to a stance (this route's crux). Climb the sculpted face left of the upper crack of Three Dorks on Dope to the top.

Start about 25 feet right (toward Hidden Valley CG) of the starts of Thrash or Crash and Grip or Slip below the next vertical crack system. This crack is next to a large boulder.

Either climb the crack directly or start by stemming off the boulder. Follow the crack past a wider section to the top.

The climb gets sun in the afternoon.

On the side of Summit or Plummet Rock that faces the Swidgeteria (the west face of SoP Rock), is a short, steep face. This route climbs the leftmost crack system on this face. The climb is roughly 35 feet down and right of Gailurrera.

Make bouldery moves up into a stance below a short off-width. Thrutch up the wide crack (large cam) to the top.

This route gets afternoon sun.

Start about 50 feet right of Split Shift/Split Infinitive at the right end of a ramp. Scramble up and left on the ramp to the far left end and set up a belay behind a big block (Variation 1).

Climb the obvious, right facing corner that is right of the Split Infinitive crack and just left of the big block to the top. A bit loose and a bit grainy.

Variation 1: For a more direct route, climb the first 20 feet of Split Infinitive to gain the left end of the ledge/ramp (5.8 PG13).

Start roughly 15 feet right of the base of the ramp that accesses Dangling Participles below an obvious vertical crack.

Jam up the crack to a ledge (optional belay here), then climb another clean crack on the left to the top of the formation.

Start about 12 feet left of Light Touch and just left of a nolina. This nolina is about eight feet right of a pine tree.

Make a bouldery move off the ground (crux), then climb the vertical crack that is formed by a series of vertical pockets.

Start about 10 feet right and around the corner from Samiti at an obvious varnished crack.

Climb the hand and fist crack to a ledge under an overhang. Step left around the overhang and up to the top.

Begin a couple feet right of Misplaced Modifiers below a corner that leads to a ceiling.

Climb up to a ledge in the corner, then up the loose corner to the ceiling. Move up and right past the ceiling to a stance, then up the short, loose finger crack to the top.

Start just right of Laeger Domain at a large pod and a short right facing corner.

Climb the right facing corner then past two big huecos to a crack and the top.

Patty wrote the JT hiking guidebook "On Foot in Joshua Tree."

Start in the same spot as Thrash or Crash, on the back (west) side of Summit or Plummet Rock.

Reach a horizontal crack and hand traverse right about eight feet. Pull up into a short hand crack, which is followed to the top.

This route gets afternoon sun.

Start about ten feet right of Gipfel at a vertical crack in a small corridor made up of two large boulders.

Climb the crack to a niche, then go up and right along a flake and varnished patches to the top.

Route gets afternoon sun.

Start about 10 feet right of Cumbre at a small boulder that leans against the middle of the face.

Climb up and slightly right from the boulder to the top. The holds aren't as good as you might first assume.

Start eight feet right of Sommet at an obvious, varnished, right facing corner.

Climb the corner to the top.

Start just left of Summit or Plummet at the next set of parallel cracks.

Climb up along the parallel cracks to the top.

Start about 20 feet right of Misplaced Priorities near a nolia that is at the base of a corner.

Climb a few feet up the corner, then undercling left on a loose flake to reach a crack/flake. Use the crack/flake to pull past a ceiling (crux). Climb the face above to the summit.

This is the leftmost of the routes on the west face of Summit or Plummet Rock. Start at the left edge of the face by some boulders.

Climb up and right along a gritty crack/flake to it's top then up a short vertical crack to the top.

Start in the same spot as Split Shift, just right of a pod and short right facing corner.

Climb up and right on face holds (5.8 PG13) to gain the left end of a large ledge/ramp. Climb the steep, grainy, hand and fist crack directly above (crux).

This crack is just around the nose from the Split Shift crack.
