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 pocketed wall gets morning and early afternoon sun and some shade late in the day. Standouts here are Pick Pocket (5.11a) and the "Sex" routes. Some routes in the center start off of a ledge which requires an easy 5th class scramble.

Getting There

From the upper approach, hike south down the gorge, past the trestle, around the corner, over the log and the bridge, through the nettle swamp and take the left trail up towards the insanely chalked wall.
