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 small but worthwhile east-facing crag sits almost directly across the Gorge from the Dilithium Crystal, and while not as popular as some of the better known crags has a handful of routes well worth checking out. Recommended routes here include Melts in your Mouth (5.10c), Escapade (5.11a) and Thumbs Up (5.11c) which all feature great rock and an abrupt change in character at some point on the climb.

Getting There

Approach via the Central Gorge or Upper Gorge approach as it's about midway between the two. The wall sits almost directly across from the stellar Dilithium Crystal.
