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.

Please avoid climbing routes between 'Steelhead' and 'Living Dead' due to active raptor nest in this location. April-July or until nest activity is complete.
Description
Amazing line that climbs past the crux of Piranha and leftward.
The climb can most notably be broken into two bouldery cruxes, with some sporadic pumpy cruxes in between: the first crux is located directly after the Piranha crux through some really interesting, powerful, and finally delicate moves, the second crux is up high just over the roof which leads you to a jug hueco and "easier" climbing to the anchor. Overall an amazing, varied line, that is totally deserving of your effort! Rock is real good and getting better the more people get on it.
I recommend extending certain bolts and skipping a few for rope drag purposes. I specifically skipped the first bolt and extended every bolt on Piranha.
70M gets you to the ground.
