The Old Woman

Joshua tree climbs: THE OLD WOMAN

Double Cross 5.7+

One of the worst cases of sandbagging in Josh, Double Cross gives you a good run for your money with sustained fist-jamming after a runout, bouldery start...Headstone offers two moderate classics: South West Corner, 5.6 & Cryptic, 5.8 both of which have been somewhat tamed with the addition of new bolts.
