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

Wall directly acrosss from the Supreme Wizard Formation on the West side of the gorge.

One of the coldest spots in the gorge.

Getting There

Bushwack down to the river avoiding copious nettle. Find a sketchy pile of logs and avoid falling in the river. Belay Micro Pete from the river bed or scramble up to a ledge. Otherwise, 3rd class up and right to the other climbs which start off ledges.
