PETA Crags Area

This climbing area is on the hillside and nearby hidden valleys just southwest of 29 Palms. The PETA Crag can easily be seen from the Del Taco in 29 Palms on Hwy 62 (near the Motel 6). So far there have been 13 routes done with seven of them on the PETA Crag. The PETA Crag is about a 45 minute hike. Clifton Giblet is about an hour while the rest of the formations are 1 hour or more. Turn off Hwy 62 at Mesquite Springs Rd, which is about 1/2 mile west from downtown 29 Palms. Drive about 1/2 mile to the end of Mesquite Springs Road past some houses. Park and hike up canyon (south) to the PETA Crag. All the climbing is within Joshua Tree National Park.

Tucker Tech on The Howling Monkey (5.7) on The Giblet

The Giblet
This cliff is not visible from the road or approach and only seen after you hike in the canyon for maybe 1/2 hour or so. It is located up the valley from the PETA Crag on the left (north) side of the wash. There are only two climbs on The Giblet and both are sport climbs.

(163) Clifton Giblet (5.10c)*
This climb goes past four bolts to a loose crack/ramp up and right, then up a weakness/crack to the top. The top of this climb is loose and difficult. The fourth bolt is doubled, so you can rappel before the loose/difficult/irritating part. If you continue past the doubled fouth bolt, you need to bring some trad gear. To get off the top, you need to jump across an exposed chasm on the backside. The climb is excellent to the fourth bolt and "an excellent adventure" to the top (i.e. that part sucks).
FA: Todd Gordon, Tucker Tech, Steven Powers

(164) Howling Monkey (5.7)*
Start the same as for Clifton Giblet but instead of going up after the first bolt, traverse right all the way to the right edge of the formation to a cool stance on a small ledge. There are four or five bolts on this climb to a two bolt rap station.

I'm wondering if anyone wants to coordinate camping?

We'll be arriving Friday evening and it'd be great if someone had a spot lined up in the Park and was willing to share.
It would really help not having to do the hustle on a Friday night after a 6 hour drive.

Please, anyone, let me know!

jefe;...you are welcome to camp at the Gordon Ranch;...I think Ron Gomez, Lynne Leichtfuss and Bridwell are coming up on Friday and camping;.....you are welcome to join them...it will be quiet on Friday nite too....and no fee, rangers, traffic, noise, crowds, etc. That goes for anyone else too.....you are welcome to camp friday nite here.

Saturday nite may be a bit crowded and noisey here at the Gordon Ranch...but at least no rangers/camp fees...and there are some quiet places back behind the house;.......best to set up early while it's lite and you can see.....

We may have famous Southwest Artist Kim Nelson-Perrin, displaying and selling some of her mega-awesome art work and donating a % of her sales to Tom Gilje.......it's some really cool stuff. She sell most of her art to "indian" stores, art galleries, and private collections;....but she is willing to share with us;...check out her work.

Hope this will happen;..it's some really really cool stuff......

Hay Todd, that check was cashed 3 weeks ago. Shortly after, I got a really nice Thank You card from Tom.

I kinda, sorta hope these two events were related. Your list has me a bit worried.

Can you check on this, and maybe update your list, or if there was a problem with the check arriving get back to me.

(I tried sending a PM a couple weeks ago but I guess you never received it, and tried phoning, no reply....???)
Cheers,
Crusher
EDIT: "but yeah;..got the check;....mailed it to Tom..."

Thanks, Todd!

I'm really impressed, blown away, really, by all the work you're doing for Tom, and I know it's just the latest in a long list of efforts to help others. Sorry I can't make it to the event itself, All the Best.
