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
A fun well protected corner above the river! Don't let the wideness scare you off, there are great holds throughout and stemming, laybacking and jug hauling is the game on this pitch. This is a long pitch and I think you might need an 80. Tie a knot in the end of your rope. There is an anchor after the short first pillar if you need to break it up.
