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
While not the best song by Rush, the route on the other hand is stellar and a transitory flight quite possible! Access the comfy ledge by climbing either 30 Miles to Water or Rush Hour Traffic, both 5.8.
Vapor Trail starts directly above the anchor of 30 Miles, passing 2 bolts to a ledge. Above the ledge move out right to a bolt. A short steeper section and nice positive features lead past another bolt and a fixed draw. A thin move above the fixed draw gets you to a great thank god bucket and bolt. A few moves higher take advantage of a nice rest before the business, techy climbing along a seam, passing 2 bolts to a small ledge and another fixed draw. Above the ledge, clip a final bolt while moving left then up to gain the shared anchor with Limelight.
