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
As viewed from the river, the Muppets Wall is found immediately left and slightly down from Warning Signs Wall. It used to be part of Warning Signs Wall before its route collection grew too large and was split into two areas. Muppets Wall is now the left area.
The routes found here face mostly south-west, more west than south and get into the sun from late morning till late afternoon.

Getting There
This area is located about 400'[120m] south-east of the central power plant or about 1700'[520m] south (downstream) from where the Central Gorge trail meets the unpaved road at the bottom of the Gorge. The river crossing is the same as for Warning Signs Wall. There used to be a bridge just north of an abandoned decomposing structure. It is possible that a tree branch or a rickety plank has been placed where the bridge used to be. This changes day to day.
After crossing the river head uphill, but take the left trail.
