Access Issue: Climbing Regulations/Seasonal Raptor Closures Details
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. 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
Scramble onto a ledge about 30 ft off the ground. Up the fun jugs to gain the prominent dihedral crack. Cool stems, then much awkward bliss.
Descend by going over the top (exposed) and downclimb the northwest steep features to climber's left, or tunnel through to climber's right and downclimb Northwest Chimney (5.2), or thread the rope around a near-horizontal block (use the smoother hole to climber's right) atop Northwest Chimney and rap (afterward straightforward pull with some friction).
