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

Start off battling an awkward bulge. Then work those knee bars, heel-toes, and chicken wings as you slither and grovel up the OW until it finally lowers angle. Features on the left wall allow for good rests. I brought two 6" pieces and bumped one up to use for the anchor.
