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
This route gets started right away with the technical slab crux coming at the first bolt. After that, the route eases dramatically for another 50' before you must commit to another crux on an overhang.
The upper crux could be reachy if you're short.
The full name for this climb is a reference to a line from the T.V. show, Gomer Pyle: "You have been nothing but trouble since the day I laid eyes on you; You're like a thorn in my side; I don't know from one day to the next what stupid lame brain stunt you're gonna pull; Now get out of here, get out of my office, get out of my life, once and for all get out, out, out!"
