Scared on a Joshua Tree "5.6"....again! Runout slab + burly multi pitch!

Three unremarkable climbers embark on a 3 day rock climbing trip in Joshua Tree, California where they get scared and send some rad 5.6s! You'll see CRACK, you'll see SLAB, you'll see RUNOUTS, you'll see TRAD. You'll see us hiding from the RAIN. You'll also see a bit of fear and lots of effort.

Honestly, Joshua Tree has always scared me, and after a terrifying experience on a 5.5 over a year ago, I've been super hesitant to lead anything new. BUT! I did lead, and I had an awesome time! Actually, we all felt really accomplished on these otherwise unremarkable climbs!

What are your thoughts on the grading in Joshua Tree?? Comment below!
