Access Issue: Private land crossing and parking information - PLEASE READ BELOW !
Details
You walk across private land to enter this area. The landowner has been tolerant so long as we don't disturb his land or his cattle. To keep a good relationship with him it is extremely important that climbers don't mess with grazing cattle, and that ALL GATES STAY AS THEY ARE FOUND. Also, the large gate on the north side of the parking area MUST NOT BE BLOCKED IN ANY WAY; the rancher regularly uses this gate as he drives a truck pulling a large trailer, so the road leading to said gate MUST STAY CLEAR by least 40 feet on all sides, including the road perpendicular to it (running east-west). If the parking area is full, drive past the bridge and park on the next pullout (not far), and NEVER BY THE GATE.
Please be respectful and keep this access open to climbers. Use posted photos for this area to familiarize yourself with where parking is and is not allowed. Access to all gates must remain available to a truck and trailer. Parking in any way that restricts access to the gates north of the highway will jeopardize access for climbing.

Description
House of Sky is THE king line of The Bowling Alley. It was the first line I rapped in August, 2018 when a close friend finally managed to drag me away from development at The Dry with promises of tufas, pockets, and steep 35 meter walls.
Situated on the blunt arete directly in the middle of the Bowling Alley the route begins by climbing beautiful tufa formations with the steep angle kicking in immediately. The first half of this line is crux after crux comprised of long pulls between underclings, marginal feet, difficult clips, and almost nowhere to rest. There is a big heartbreaker move with the slab rest just in sight.
Above mid height and the brief bit of slab the route changes styles and finishes with demanding technical sequences on vertical rock including two maddeningly low percentage moves just before pulling onto the final short and easier section leading you to the chains at the top of the wall.
Plain and simple this is a dream route.
