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

Start about 10 feet to the left of Granny Goose. Pull onto the face above an overlap and clip the first bolt. Make thin moves right and up past another bolt. Move left to a stance with a third bolt, then make more difficult and sporty moves to gain a small, left-facing corner. Continue up a short left-leaning crack to a hole in the summit boulders. Squirm through the hole to the top.

If you want to set this up as a TR, you'll want purple, red and gold Camalots and a cordalette. This anchor can be built on the road (front) side of the hole you crawl through (or by leading Bryant Gumbel).
