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
Is it just me, or are ORG slab routes always hard for the grade?
A very sustained pitch with good variety that is slightly marred by a little bit of decomposing rock near the top.
Steep moves getting to the 1st bolt (10c) followed by a couple of hard moves pulling onto the slab (10c), easing off a bit then cruxing getting to the 4th bolt. Some easier climbing on the edge of slab gets you to an interesting undercling/roof move which does not seem correctly bolted as a fall here could swing you into the slab. A couple of steep, fun moves involving a crack, decomposing rock for the left foot and bomber stone on the right finish off the climbing.
