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
Climb easily, trending left, passed 3 bolts on an easy angled face. Getting into the shallow corner, and making progress up it is the crux.
Finish steeply passed 2 more bolts.
Location
Route lies at the Left side of the cliff, just to the Right of the Arete of Laser Beam.
[Hide Photo] sometimes it takes more than good intentions, and re/retrobolting should fall in that category. here, an inexperienced re/retrobolter took a good bolt placement and completely screwed it up...

[Hide Comment] Very good older route; has a more old-school feel to it. Full 10a in my thought. The new school clip-up Safety Mtg to its right is the one that should get 9+...
