The late John Bachar in the Gorge. Rest in peace.

Red-pointing in the Owens River Gorge at Solarium. The ruins-of-Mordor ambiance and occasional self-chalking slopers might deter some. But the view of the Sierra from up at the cars makes up for the gloominess. And the awesome quantity of great routes on bullet-hard, pocketed, basalt places the Gorge a cut above all other western sport areas, (except maybe Smith Rock). Thank you first-ascensioneers!

White Mountains at Sunset as seen from the Lower Gorge Parking area. There were about twenty cars when we came in the late morning, but only two when this picture was taken. Take time to savor the beauty around you...
