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. A permit is required to replace or add new bolts: nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/…
Seasonal Closures:
The presence of a nesting owl in very close proximity to a variety of climbing routes, "Right On," "Orange Flake," "Kid Caligula," requires closure until the nest has been abandoned to ensure the protection of the species for the duration of the nesting activities. This closure will be in effect from February 17, 2026 until June 7, 2026; or until the nest has been abandoned.
The presence of a prairie falcon nesting in very close proximity to a variety of climbing routes requires closure of "Fat Freddie’s Cat,” “Freak Brothers Dome,” “The Weenie,” “Pea Brain,” and “The Red Obelisk." This closure will be in effect from February 17, 2026 until June 7, 2026; or until the nest has been abandoned

Description
Make easy moves to the first bolt (drilled angle) about 20 feet up and then wander up the narrow, low-angled rib above passing three more bolts. It's a little ways from the last bolt to the anchor but the angle kicks back and it gets easier.
- A direct start McRib (5.9) can be done up the front of the rib and can even be lead by pre-clipping the first bolt.
Protection
4 bolts, 2 bolt ring anchor
- Two bolt anchor for the belay but it's best to rap off the anchors just to the left on McStain.
