Indecision 2000 offers a brief but intriguing climb on the left side of the inverted V formation at X Factor Dome, nestled within the rugged expanse of Joshua Tree National Park. The route begins with an immediate challenge—pulling over a roof that demands steady technique and careful positioning. From there, the path meanders upwards and to the left, winding through sections marked by loose rock that requires a cautious approach more than forceful moves. While the initial attempts on the right side revealed a thin, grainy seam with unreliable protection, the left route proves more manageable, though still a test of attention and careful gear placements.

This climb is not about continuous exposure or sustained difficulty but more a short burst of action punctuated by the need to evaluate each hold and placement closely. The anchor station is anchored around a sturdy tree perched well back on the summit, providing a secure end point with some optional pro placements beneath a large boulder to the climber's right, though these can feel a little out of reach during the belay. Protection ranges from small cams up to 2.5 inches, reflecting the varied crack sizes and feature gaps.

Approaching X Factor Dome, the terrain is classic Joshua Tree: dry, desert-hard rock with open skies and sharp sun. Climbers should prepare for less obvious protection and a route that demands focus on movement and route reading rather than raw athleticism. It's the kind of climb that asks you for patience and good judgment, rewarding those who resist the urge to rush with a solid line that feels at once adventurous and grounded in the park’s distinctive character.

Planning your trip here means packing light but precise gear, especially small to mid-sized cams, and sturdy shoes for moving over some unstable rock sections. The climb suits climbers who want a quicker route with a taste of adventure—a good warm-up or mid-day goal for exploring Joshua Tree’s road-side cracks. Early morning or late afternoon are the best times to avoid the harsh sunlight that beats down relentlessly in the midday hours. With care and preparation, Indecision 2000 provides a memorable slice of Joshua Tree’s climbing world where caution and discovery combine.
