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
Most climbers will cringe and run before leaving the ground. The site alone of the smooth pink slab will send them packing. For those who stick around an interesting climb awaits. The intimidating slab is slick and technical but the crux is actually a short boulder problem at the first bolt. Once past the crux, tricky edging up the slab leads to a pile of slings and rope.
