Joshua Tree

We found some friends who like to rock climb and went out to Joshua Tree Saturday. Last time we tried to go there with just our family and it was really hard because we couldn't explore with Cole and climb at the same time. Cole would want to go somewhere else and we'd be stuck in the same spot because one of us was belaying and the other climbing. We ended up spending the whole day at Trashcan rock and climbing 3 routes, a 5.4, a 5.6, and a 5.0. That's right a 5.0. When I saw it in the guide book I had to climb it just to say I'd climbed a 5.0. We all had a great time and plan to go back again.

The Trough 5.0. In Utah this kind of climb is left unrated and nameless.

The beauty of the desert. The moon coming up as we were leaving Josh
