Access Issue: Placement of bolts/fixed anchors is prohibited in Wilderness Study Areas
Details
The Organ Mountains are in the Organ Mountains Desert Peaks National Monument which includes eight Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs). Placing new bolts, even if hand-drilled, is not allowed in WSAs. Please see section 1.6, D5, (g) at the BLM Manual 6330—Management of BLM Wilderness Study Areasblm.gov/sites/blm.gov/files… document for the policy regarding fixed anchors in WSAs. More about the Organ Mountain Desert Peaks National Monument, including maps showing the WSAs, can be found here.organmountains.org/wilderness/
The Access Fund has some helpful informationaccessfund.org/open-gate-bl… about public land agencies and the bolting rules of each agency.

Description
Just to the left of El Diablo is another beautiful line. The crux is right at the start and a conveniently located boulder makes for great photo ops. Sustained climbing all the way up, this climb is well worth the visit.
Protection
One advantage that this climb has over its neighbor is the ease at which the top-rope bolt anchors are reached. Simply walk around to the back-side of the formation and peer through a break in the rock wall and you will be looking down from the top of the climb. The bolt anchors are within arms reach when you sit on top of a 7ft high rock shoulder.
