Access Issue: Placement of bolts/fixed anchors is prohibited in Wilderness Study Areas Details

The Organ Mountains are in the Organ Mountains Desert Peaks National Monument which includes eight Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs). Placing new bolts, even if hand-drilled, is not allowed in WSAs. Please see section 1.6, D5, (g) at the BLM Manual 6330—Management of BLM Wilderness Study Areas blm.gov/sites/blm.gov/files… document for the policy regarding fixed anchors in WSAs. More about the Organ Mountain Desert Peaks National Monument, including maps showing the WSAs, can be found here.organmountains.org/wilderness/
The Access Fund has some helpful information accessfund.org/open-gate-bl… about public land agencies and the bolting rules of each agency.

Description

Home of Pena Blancas lonely sport routes. There are also a handful of traditional routes. The rock tends to be the loose granite-like grey rock typical of the Garden area. Some of it is extremely loose and chossy, but a few cracks/faces are solid.

Getting There

Located in the middle of The Garden with a fin of rock to its south and north. It stands alone and is easy to pick out because it connects to the easily recognizable El Diablo Spire wall just to its east.
