Location: Joshua Tree
Notes: One of the newer JTree classics
Put up by Kevin Daniels early in the millenia, E.J. Deluxe
is one of the new classics of Josh. One might wonder how
nobody ever found it before, because this thing is awesome,
and it sits at the base of a very popular lead wall -
The Rusty Wall.
The problem starts as a sit at a juggy hold at the lip
of a low roof. Climb steep and technical moves on criss-cross
diagonal cracks/rails up to a hollow sounding blocky sloper
at the 15ft. level. Match on the blocky hold and pull
to the right, topping out just right of the apex pf the
boulder. The problem is a tad tall, a tad sketchy at the
top, with a sloped landing for the last couple of moves.
