really nice route...if you are short stick the first bolt from the block. the first moves are pretty hard and you are 25 feet up when you start. tall people can reach the bolt to hang the draw from the top of the block.

Sweet route. As good as the infidel, just a couple grades easier.

really fun route with a fun balance move crux at the 4th bolt. once you move past it, fight past the pump for 11a climbing to the send!

Seemed about the same as Infidel to me.

are you saying that the infidel is 11b, or that joe is 11d? i guess it doesn't matter because there's no effing way these 2 climbs are the same grade...

I'm inclined to say 'Joe is more like 11d, but I don't really specialize in 5.11s, so I can't say for sure what the grade is, only that the two routes felt similar by comparison.

Better movement than Frugal Chariot down low but a less exciting finish to be sure.

definitely second the person who said to stick-clip the first bolt from the block if you can't reach. if you're getting on this climb, you'll probably get those moves, but at 30ish feet up, why risk it (unless you're into that sort of thing). also, the "solo" up to the block was kind of awesome. easy, but made me feel adventurous. also, tough crux!!!

This is a fantastic route. Movement is especially good on the vertical face, and I wish there was some more business up top. Quality rock once you get off the sandy pinnacle.

This is a neat route! BUT...I totally confused this route for Picador at the Arsenal!!! LOL we totally got confused on the approach too! Fortunately, Rick brought carrot cakes and we at them with joy at the bottom. - Yasmeen
