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
New route on the far right side. Don't know the name or difficulty level but climbed it this weekend and am inclined to say 9/10a depending on your crack technique. Fun but some of the rock is suspect. If anyone knows the actual name/FA, let me know and I'll update.
Location
Starts up the dihedral on the far right.
Protection
Around 11 shiny new bolts and mussey hooks at the top.

It DOES smell bad!
The rock gets better at the top, and the jamming is fun - hence the 2 stars. May 12, 2019
