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
This is a curving finger crack 50 feet to the right (west) of Exorcist. The rock quality is not the best but the climbing is very nice and the gear is great.
Start up a loose lieback / finger crack that becomes a powerful finger crack traverse straight right where it meets the wide crack of What, 5.8.
Location
Follow the upper finger crack part of IT, 5.9 as a second pitch. Traverse left (east) to Exorcist's rappel anchors, one rope rap just makes it.
Protection
Standard crack gear, bring extra small cams from 0.25" to 0.5" and a 4" cam for What. 1"-3" cams for the belay.
