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

Lowest angle 12a in the Gorge. Until the top.

Climb first short pitch of Slip N Slide to mid anchor. Launch into the techy beautiful corner above. Flop onto the great stance then hero out the roof crack.

One of the more beautiful patina corners I've seen in the Gorge.

This route is underrated and underdone, in my opinion.
