I was told the other day that this area is now closed to climbing. I have no details. Does anyone have any details on this matter?

Description
Hercules Finger is a 50-foot spire found in Lucerne Valley.
Getting There
This area is to the northwest of Joshua Tree National Park. If you are coming from Joshua Tree/Yucca Valley, take 247 (Old Woman Springs Rd.) to Camp Rock Road, a short distance before Lucerne Valley. Turn right (north) and drive 6.1 miles to where pavement ends. Drive another 2.5 miles, then go right another 2.9 miles then head up under the power lines and park.
Hercules Finger is a short distance to the north.
If approaching from Barstow, take 247, or from Apple Valley, take 18, to Lucerne Valley, then 247 east to Camp Rock Rd.
