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 up the steep wall on the left of the dihedral. The climbing at the start is good with fun face and crack moves. Two bolts below the anchors the climb changes and needs thought before making your move up to the anchors.
Location
Left wall of middle dihedral.

Edit: Just read in the Ticks about someone stick clipping bolt three from the ledge to the left. A good idea! I'm tall and had no problem with the clip, shorter climbers would be much more stressed. Nov 20, 2019
