Deliver Us from Evil carves out a gritty, memorable experience on the Southwest Face of North Astro Dome, standing as a sharp contrast to the more frequented climbs in Joshua Tree's Wonderland of Rocks. This single-pitch 90-foot route demands a mindset ready for adventure—the rock isn't pristine, but it tells a story of age and grit under your fingertips. The climb starts with a well-protected section that invites you into its rhythm, only to open into a run-out middle portion that tests your focus and mental steadiness. The higher crux tightens the challenge again, guarded by some old bolts that bear the history of countless climbers who have dared this line. Protection options are limited, but strategic placements and a shared anchor connect you to the clearing at the top of Chute to Kill. The rock’s texture carries a grainy feel, alerting you to tread carefully but rewarding persistence. This route delivers a straightforward but bold trad climb for those looking to step off the beaten track, set against the stark beauty of Joshua Tree's dramatic desert landscape. Keep your approach and descent plans clear and your gear prepared for placing pro in a pocketed, sometimes sparse handhold environment. This climb is a solid choice when other lines feel too polished, perfect for trad climbers craving a raw slice of Southern California desert grit.
