Our Work
ReBolting Program
Friends of Joshua Tree has recently launched a paid rebolting program for Joshua Tree National Park. It’s one of our core programs, and we will keep the climbing community up to date regarding our progress.
We are also collecting evidence of bolts and routes in Joshua Tree National Park that need maintenance. This data allows us to plan future work and apply for rebolting permits with JTNP.
