Rock Climbing Joshua Tree

by Randy Vogel

Thousands of sport and traditional routes on the myriad golden domes offer climbers of all abilities endless variety, from classic, well-protected cracks to delicate friction faces to edgy vertical testpieces. Excellent bouldering abounds, and unsurpassed camping in the beautiful high-desert environment encourages extended stays. Simply put, no climber's career is complete without at least one trip to Joshua Tree, and many people find themselves returning year after year. The long awaited reprint of Chockstone's "Joshua Tree Rock Climbing Guide" is the most complete guide available to the area. Maps, photos, and written descriptions give climbers all the information they need to explore and enjoy one of the climbing world's most treasured resources.

It's a guide book. Mine is the first edition. At close to 500 pages it's about as comprehensive as one could ask for, though the first edition was written before bouldering really took off and so a separate guide for that should be consulted.

Would like better maps or an overview map but this was a crucial piece for my climbing trip

[Robert]

Very helpful for a beginner climber like me

[Becky]

The go-to guide for Joshua Tree, though I suggest the updated versions for better directions and bouldering routes.
