Subject: Satellite Left
Rating: V3
Quality: 4 stars
Location: Joshua Tree
Notes: JTree Classic

Satellite Left is a Josh classic through and through! FA'd by none other than John Bachar himself. The problem get progressively harder as it gets taller and taller, and the rock just keeps getting better, as the jugs get thinner and smaller.

The climb starts with huge plates and jugs hanging about head high. Climb straight up and left on sloping ledges. Exit left onto a grey, vertical face with thin edges. The problem is around 16ft. tall with the crux moves coming at the end.
