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
On the eastern side of the Satellite boulder, sit start with a low left hueco and a high right pinch. Head up through crimpy features to the slopy break. Continue up the arete and slab as for Blastoff.
Detractors are rock quality up high and the dabbiness of the moves establishing on the slab. Regardless of those, this line offers unique movement on mostly great rock quality and a variety of enjoyable features.
This line likely has been done before, as it's on the Satellite boulder. It's surely been cruised by a plethora of rock junkies.
Finally, the grade is a guess and is probably quite dependent on wingspan, height, etc.
