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

Climbs the second tier of Health Club.

Climb 5.9 bolt protected crack and face system, then break right onto the face and climb to the top of the feature.

Location

Second tier of Health Club. Climbs the giant shark fin looking feature.

Approach by Starfish (recommended), Fashion Racket, or Sneakaroma. I recommend that you pass first pitch anchors, continue to the anchors below Megalodon, and belay the second up from there.
