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
If you like technical slabs...this is a great route! If not, you'll hate it and think it's the worst route in the gorge haha. Since less than vertical harder climbs are less frequent here, this rig is kinda stand out for the area in my opinion. After a cruiser start, you'll find 3 devious cruxes complete with glassy feet, a thin one finger pocket crimp, underclings, pinches, layaways...maybe a slab-dyno...and cerebral moves in between. You'll probably want your belayer to unclip the first draw after you clip the second bolt. Exciting but well protected.
