We head out to beautiful Joshua Tree, CA… honestly the first time we been there and amazed why we never been there before. It’s a different type of nature, a rock climber’s haven. We weren’t appropriately geared for the weather with our Big5 tent with a missing rainfly and some broken support sticks, but we’re men.

Ban and Chris have been my long time buddies since high school. And Tim has been friends with Chris since college. You may also recognize him from our very first entry.

I’ve been tagging along with these guys indoor rock climbing since a recent near summit to Mount Williamson and watching them progress to this. An amazing feat!
