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:

Description
Directly behind the boulder with
Marsupial Lust (5.10a) is where you'll find this short north-facing route.
Committing but easy moves above a bad landing lead to the first bolt (climbers 6' or taller may be able to stem off a boulder and clip the first bolt) above which fun and well protected moves up large edges lead to rap anchors on a ledge.
Like a lot of the routes in the area this is on the short side but it does have some fun moves and good rock...so give it a whirl. One star out of five.
Protection
3 bolts, 2 bolt anchor w/ Metolius rap hangers (all 3/8")
[Hide Photo] Marsupial Lust follows the left-angling seam/crack to ledge. Godspeed (5.9) is on the large boulder behind and left of this one.
