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.
This route starts in a slightly overhanging crack with a bolt to clip right off the ground. Grab the Little Man (a flake) and pull into the crack. Be gentle with the little guy as he is loose. Climb the crack over a bulge and climb the fun lieback flake above. The descent is a little tricky (start by dropping off towards the Pencil) but no "convenience" anchor is necessary.
