Trad Guide to Joshua Tree 60 Favorite Climbs from 5.5 to 5.9

"Trad" or traditional climbing is characterized by the placement and removal of protective gear as the climber progresses. Sport climbing involves permanent protection that is pre-placed for future climbers to use. Many climbers who visit Joshua Tree spend as much time searching for good routes as they do actually climbing. This guidebook offers the moderate climber a fun, varied and challenging "tick-list" of 60 great Trad climbs, and makes it easy to find your way around. With colour photos of every route, detailed maps, and easy-to-follow driving and hiking directions, you'll be able to climb numerous routes per day and make the most of your climbing trip.Winger, Charlie is the author of 'Trad Guide to Joshua Tree 60 Favorite Climbs from 5.5 to 5.9', published 2004 under ISBN 9780972441391 and ISBN 0972441395.
