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
At the top of the Attila the Hun wall, near the rim of the gorge is the namesake route. Super clean left leaning fingers to hands splitter. It is possible start on the Louisiana Liplock (10b), the VERY short finger crack below White Dwarf (12a), and link into Attila crack with some slings. If doing this, the route is probably more like 100 feet.
Location
Scramble up some ledges to the right of Pumpkin to the base. The cracks up there are easy to see from the trail.
Protection
Nuts, singles to .75, 2x 1 Camalot, and a #2.
