Beautiful ascending! May I ask a rookie question? This looks too spaced for me, the moves are big. Is there any other routs in Joshua Tree National park that are bolted and which lever of difficulty and spacing of the bolts is suited for 5.9 , 5.9+ or less and would work for a shorter climber? What sources of information should I look for?
Off the top of my head I can't think of many but Todd Gordon recently published a great guide book of all the sport climbs / top ropes. kdanielspublishing.com/cart/index.php/guide-books/joshua-tree-sport-climbs-and-top-rope-sites.html
As you likely know, "Cozzy" was the first ascentionist and there is an interesting story about the name too, involving as romance with a much younger climber he met in HVCG, apparently. I suppose you know that story.
I remember the iconic foto of John Bacher soling FF.

Straight butter!! Smoooth
Too hard for me; I belayed Scott Cosgrove on one of early attemps

I like to see more flashing he had it wired no telling how long you worked on it
where I'm from; pre placed draws downgrades it to 5.11d.
@Bryan Hayes ..... no. It arguably down rates it from 13a to 12d
And that triple dogbone... Made a puppy outta that nasty Crux. Shame...
