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.

Getting There
The Megalithic area is on the west side and is the next most prominent clean-looking SE facing cliff upstream from the Fun House after passing the old penstock industrial ruins.
To stop trail erosion directly under the routes, please approach from the old penstock by going up the boulders a short distance before following a contouring trail rightward across the hillside.
Once at the base, scramble up an easy corner to a large sandy ledge where the routes proper start. Using either of the belays on the left to rappel is the easiest means of descending.
