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

Even though it's just a five minute walk further down from the scene at Gorgeous Tower, you can pretty much count on having this wall to yourself. This area is east facing, in the narrowest of the canyon, close to the river, morning sun then lots of shade. Possibly the most verdant crag in the Gorge, it's a nice place to hang out.

Getting There

Easiest to approach from Upper with current river crossings as they are. Cruise down canyon til you see the wall with a good log crossing that leads to the ramp base of the climbs.
