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
Make some face moves past a bolt into a left-facing flake, climb that to it's end and finish with some easier face climbing to the top. Descend off the right side of the formation. Fun climbing on good rock merit two stars out of five.
- Originally done without any bolts; the bolt was added later by another party believing they were doing the first ascent.
Location
This route is located on the west face of a large block that sits down and right from the main Gilligan's Island crag.
Protection
One bolt (3/8"), gear to 3 inches

But the climbing was nice. Miramontes says standard rack, in J tree, I usually take that to mean up to 3"; I took a #3 and a #4 and used both. Mar 11, 2017
