First Ascents

New Jack City is a Southern California sport climbing Mecca in the fall, winter and spring.

I have spent many a winter weekend in the late 1990's camping, climbing and putting up sport routes in this location located between Barstow and Lucerne Valley, CA.

Some of the routes I bolted and did first ascents on are:

Beyond the Crucified 5.9, Halle Bopp Tango 5.9 located uphill from Crucified Wall

Dead Man Walking 5.10a, and Step Right Up 5.8, at Ravens Roost

A 5.7 and Roadside Warrior 5.9 on the backside of the Roadside Rock

and the Sunshine routes, 5.10c, 5.8, 5.7 on the Sunshine Face
