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. A permit is required to replace or add new bolts: nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/…
Seasonal Closures:
The presence of a nesting owl in very close proximity to a variety of climbing routes, "Right On," "Orange Flake," "Kid Caligula," requires closure until the nest has been abandoned to ensure the protection of the species for the duration of the nesting activities. This closure will be in effect from February 17, 2026 until June 7, 2026; or until the nest has been abandoned.
The presence of a prairie falcon nesting in very close proximity to a variety of climbing routes requires closure of "Fat Freddie’s Cat,” “Freak Brothers Dome,” “The Weenie,” “Pea Brain,” and “The Red Obelisk." This closure will be in effect from February 17, 2026 until June 7, 2026; or until the nest has been abandoned

Description
Another Vaino Kodas concoction, although I believe Mike Beck came up with the name. It is not so much a climbing route as a spelunking adventure that emerges on the summit of the large boulder containing Between A Rock And A Hard Place.
From near the base of Light Sabre, crawl into a hole in the backside of the boulder. Go left 25', then head up a crack in a corner to pop out on top the boulder. This is a nice vantage point for heckling your buddies on Light Sabre or Apollo. Reverse the route to descend.
