Class: 5.7, Trad
What it is: One of my favorite climbs ever. Joshua Tree Classic. Climb the crack straight up, moving slightly left near the top. Keep an eye out for the crack within the crack. Rap from anchors 20' right of the finish with two ropes (120' rap) or walk right and rap from anchors atop The Importance Of Being Ernest with one rope (75').

Class: 5.9, Trad
What it is: Scarier start than most 5.9 climbs. Start up the hollow-sounding expando flake to gain the main crack above. After regaining composure, continue on 5.8 terrain that sucks up nuts until it is possible to cut up and out left onto steeper ground. This is the crux, and protects well with a .75 size cam. Pull through exciting and exposed crux and traverse left to easier ground. Gear anchor. To descend, walk to climber's right and rap from farther set of bolt anchors.
