This run-and-jump problem, of which Joshua Tree has many, uses the concave face below to lauch for the huge patina plate which beckons high above the desert floor. Plan your take-off carefully and then fly upward to an easy topout. Credit John Long for the vision to see this entertaining diversion.

Jump Chump

Yawning Flare

Start at an obvious right-slanting crack/ramp and lieback/jam/mantle your way over a chest-high bulge to easier ground; the problem get fairly high but the climbing is much easier. An easy descent exisits off the backside.

Not quite a bomb, but the grainy, akward moves may be a deterrent to many - long pants are highly recommended.
