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
The climb starts in a right-curving crack which becomes more of a straight-in crack higher as it dies out. Clip a bolt (crux) and then continue up the frictiony face past two more bolts to the top of the formation. Gear belay and walk/scramble off to the climber's right.
Short and not especially memorable but you could do a whole lot worse while in the vicinity. Two stars out of five.
Location
This is the left-most route on the Feudal Wall and lies immediately left of the creatively named
Route 1326 and
Coyote In the Bushes. This portion of the rock seems to be less popular which can be nice on those crowded days.
Protection
3 bolts, pro to 3 inches
