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
Not much chalk on this line. Maybe that's why you never see people on it or at least I never do. You get your game on from the first moves and keep it on until you join Skeletons in the Closet. The moves for me were often inobvious and they just kept coming. Don't expect many big jugs on this route but technical climbing and good footwork, plus a grunt or three, will get you from one good hold to the next. After the last hard move you keep it together for a bit of a run to join Skeletons. Although never hard this run kept my attention(otherwise this climb is well bolted). After that it's mostly a cruise to the anchor.
