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

Step up on the rock and start with tough moves through the finger crack. Then use a sloper to head left to join Tulip & Bimbo/[Redacted] to the top.

You could just do the crux finger crack and sloper and then down climb bimbo for a boulder problem that would be V2.

Location

The obvious finger crack between Tulip and Bimbo/[Redacted].

Protection

#0.5-#2 cams for a top rope anchor, set up using one of the easier and safer routes to the left. For lead small protection could be placed in the finger crack and a medium cam could be placed at the top of Tulip's crack where the routes merge. One bolt protects the crux of the slab section.
