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.
For a complete list of climbing rules and closures visit:
nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/…
Description
Reasonably well-protected friction/edgy face past bolts leads to a bolted anchor/rap - it's practically a sport route.
Not a standout climb but worth doing when in the area; it makes a good warm-up climb before heading uphill to do Welcome to Joshua Tree.
Location
This climbs up the middle of the dome shaped formation on the lower part of the Mary Worth Buttress.
Protection
7 bolts to a bolted anchor/rap (all 3/8").
