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.

Description
From the top of a boulder, climb up past several horizontal cracks (small to medium cams) to reach a large, left trending overlap (medium cam). Step right from the overlap into a hole then climb up and left past three bolts to the top.
Location
Start atop a boulder that is to the left of the pine tree above Hidden Slab Rightmost Route.
Protection
Small to medium cams and three bolts protect the route. Tie the rope around a huge boulder for an anchor on top. There is a fixed anchor to the right of the top of this route to rappel from.
