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
Very fun, crimpy (of course). Fairly slick rock but on positive holds. Route trends right. Good warm up route. A direct start adds one bolt's worth of quality 10- moves down low, or you can traverse in to the second bolt from the left the old way.
Location
The first large wall you come to after crossing the bridge. Goes up the middle, slanting right. Just below and to the right of Expressway.
Protection
9 bolts to triple Mussy hooks
