Access Issue: Climbing Regulations/Seasonal Raptor Closures Details

The Joshua Tree National Park Superintendent's Compendium states that:
1. Vegetation is not allowed to be used as an anchor.
2. Only neutral or rock colored bolt hangers are allowed.

Description

From the extreme left end of the Wailing Sax Wall going from left to right it is the second obvious crack system. Easily protected, fun roof move (Elvis #4 or #5 rests nicely here). Near many other cool climbs on same formation.

Protection

Small to large pro, one huge "Elvis #5" cam for protection at the small roof move, pro for anchors, rap bolts to climbers left up and over an easy hump.
