Spires, Blocks and Pinnacles

Aguille of JTreeThe untrodden summit, the inaccessable pinnacle, the summit which can only be reached by 5th class climbing. Climbers have been attracted to spires and untrodden summits since the beginning of time. No easy way up, no tourist with poodle on top; No gumby, fatty, boy scout or granny......only the technical rock climber......(That's you!) Joshua Tree has many spires, pinnacles, and large boulders with no easy way up. Spires are fun, summits rule, and the harder they are to get to the top, the greater the reward. Here is a list of some of Joshua Tree's spires, blocks, and pinnacles. Summit or Plumment, top or chop!!
