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
While origionally put up in December of 05' the route is essentially a warm weather rig as it's in the shade throughout the day. Crux is slightly above the half way point and features intriging technical moves and well thought out protection that position it as one of the better routes in the Gorge. Gets its name from the cat that paused underneath, was gathered up in the arms of the 1st ascentionist, and who happened to gaze up and notice this gem.
