Washoe Crack

a fun face climb with steep balance moves; fairly runout

This is a short but clean finger crack on excellent rock. It is not in the 1992 Vogel guide or the Miramontes guide

After the finger crack, the route traverses a hands to thin-hands flake on very easy ground finishing with shared anchors to Annie's little slice.

This is a steep, quality face climb on a free-standing pillar/boulder to the right of Big Bobs Big Wedge.  It is somewhat runout

This is the clean face on the east side of the boulder, to the right of Big Bob's Big Wedge. Short climb, but very sustained, with excellent quality rock.

This is one of the best crack problems anywhere.  It starts out tight offwidth/big fists and fires out the slightly rising roof for thirty+ more feet of hands and fists, culminating in a wide exit that people overcome with various techniques probably mostly dependent on their hand size.  The last moves can be committing.

This should be on every wide-crack climber's tick list for Joshua Tree.  The 5.11 rating is what's given in the Vogel guide, while the V5 is what's given in the bouldering guide (That guy also only gave it three out of five stars.  Guess he doesn't do much crack bouldering).  Personally I would lean toward the V5 end of things, which would approximately translate to a YDS grade of 5.12.  Absolutely spectacular!

A sustained slanting finger crack with smearing footholds below.  The climbing is excellent.  However, the entire flake that supports the crack is a bit hollow, and a hard fall might fracture it.
