Some friends and I are heading to JTree soon. It'll be my first time. We're 5.10 (and below) climbers, maybe some easy 11's. Trad and sport.
Anybody want to suggest routes we positively must do?
Please provide a short description to induce maximal stoke-nitude.

Some of the best times at Josh are found off the beaten track, away from the roads. At 5.10d, Black President probably qualifies as an easy .11 ...

No matter where you stay, you're guaranteed a great time! Good friends and thousands of routes. Hard to beat. (unless it's cold and the devil winds kick up. Then, you're left wishing you had booked the Sahara house ;)

I think that Sidewinder captures the essence of Jtree climbing, so that's my choice (and it's close to the road). Gotta say, though, I haven't climbed 99% of the other routes.

Why does everything have to be close to the road?

You're right, scratch that. Please substitute my choice with yours, rlf. I didn't realize a hike was prerequisite.

Nice list Tarbuster, but where's "Run for Your Life" and why isn't "Illusion Dweller" highlighted??

Run for Your Life isn't on there because, it was meant to be a list featuring primarily naturaly protected routes.
...And I have no idea what the highlights were for, uh, even though I put them there.
The few face climbs that made the list aren't meant to be necessarily the best; just good and worth spicing things up a bit.
A pure face list would be quite large; would be a list in its own right, fer dang sure.

AS long as everyone is studying Roy's list, we gotta mention that the only way Rubicon is an .11 is if we move it to Red Rocks...
