Access Issue: Bridges Out! IMPORTANT LADWP NEGOTIATIONS!!
Details
Due to liability concerns, bridges are being removed in the Owens River Gorge at the request of LADWP. The Bishop Area Climbers Coalition and the Access Fund are currently in negotiations with LADWP to get this issue resolved. In the meantime, please continue to be good land stewards by respecting these bridge closures and finding alternate crossing points until this issue is resolved.
1) Never park or camp overnight at the access points.
2) Always park off the pavement, taking great care to avoid blocking the gates.
3) Clean up after your dogs. (Local climbers are finding abandoned doggie poop bags.)
4) Pack out all trash and TP, including picking up after others.
5) Use the outhouses if at all possible.

Description
Start in a short layback crack, up to low angle rock leading to the base of the dihedral. Layback up the dihedral to a tricky finish through the overlapping corners. Ends on a big ledge with anchors. It is possible to lower off with a 70 meter rope but it is very close and the climber must lower to the ledge to the left. There are intermediate anchors for using a shorter rope. Just climbing to these anchors is probably 5.8
