Joshua Tree. A sweet loop from Indian Cove up a steep canyon, then across the high desert to a crazy boulder hopping route down to Rattlesnake Canyon. this only includes the runnable parts of the route, the rest is below. Not too hot, 70s and breezy.

the vertical part of the above. fairly slow going. a mix of hiking, boulder hopping, climbing some 20ft chimneys, a few short crack climbs, wading through pools at the bottom of the canyons, jumping cactus, and generally scraping all the skin off my hands, knees, arms, and legs. as "runs" go, this one was pretty sweet.
