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 little area has some great easy to moderate, well-protected routes.
From "Lithium Ranger": an 11-bolt, exposed & steep 5.6 - to the wildly varied 13-bolt "Cocoa Tuffs", this area has a lot to offer in the lower fun grades.
A couple of easy top-ropes in the lower 5th class range on the slabs (trad & face) make for easy stuff for youngsters. And a cool bulbous 5.8, as well as steep pocketed face with a short 5.10 crux rounds out the zone.
