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

This bolt protected route climbs decent face features up above and to the right of Tubers in Space. I saw this route walking around the cyclops it has Todd Gordon written all over it so we had to climb it.

Location

As you walk around cyclops to the Northeast you will see this route on the face across from Overnight Sensation. The route faces SW. Start as for Tubers in Space and climb directly up the face to the first bolt. Walk off to the East.
