Joshua Tree
Popular traditional climbing destination in the United States. Spring and fall are ideal times to visit. Summer temps can reach over 120 deg F. There are cold and wet days during the winter, but not uncommon to have stretches of mild sunny weather while the bulk of the country freezes. There is a small offering of "sport" climbs that are less runout and better bolt-protected than others, but they are the minority as Joshua Tree is primarily a traditional climbers' paradise offering cracks, runout slabs, and spicy "mixed" routes.
