This is the short finger crack on the right-side of the Hartman Slab.

Not much of a route, this starts from boulders around the right side of the slab. The crack starts out steep for a few moves, then goes through low angle patina. Descend a chimney/gully to the right.

The low angled face 10 feet to the right of Hartman.

A fun face with a big view but unfortunately a bit short to be more than a momentary diversion. Two stars out of five.

This is a beautiful though short crack on a a low angled slab easily visible from south Cap Rock. The climb begins at a short bulge to gain the crack. The crack ends at the top of the slab and it is possible to set an anchor directly above the crack or to move right onto a comfortable ledge above the slab.

The crack is clean and beautiful on the slab, making it worthwhile despite being very short. A good route for beginning leaders.

This is a classic thin hands crack, with technical and aesthetic climbing.

the crux is probably at the start(especially if you are short). Just below the second bolt, it gets a little thin.

A cool slabby climb right of Meteorite Crack.

Five bolts to a bolted anchor. There is a crack start (gear needed or solo) in the center, or an easy face start on the left (5.4 no pro), or up a gulley/chimney (tight fit) under a large chockstone to the right (4th class).

Another wee route with a big view but unfortunately it's a bit short even by Joshua Tree standards. One star out of five.

The name comes from an INXS song on their 1987 album Kick.
