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 out just left of the start for Kat's Meow, layback up a flake to get up into the left-facing corner above. Then take the corner all the way up to just below the headwall. Exit right out of the crack and make a couple slabby moves to get to the bolted anchor for Kat's Meow. Rap via anchor.
I'm fully sure someone had climbed this thing before we got there...
I just gave it a fake name for now. If someone wants to claim the route,. let me know and I'll update it.
Location
Located just left of Kat's Meow in the obvious crack system.
Protection
Singles from 0.5" to #4 Camalot, bolted anchor.
