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.

For a complete list of climbing rules and closures visit:
nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/…

Description

Start in the rocky notch between the two towers and climb solid edges on nice brown rock past four bolts to a ledge (3 inch piece here). One more bolt and some stemming lead to the top and a bolted anchor/rap.

A standout climb of the area that should not be missed. Three stars out of five.

Location

This route climbs to the top of the leftmost tower visible from the road. Directly across from this route is the obvious roof crack of Grit Roof which climbs to the top of the right-hand tower.
