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
Begin up the first pitch of the slightly loose Cornercopia, 10a, and head to the looming, rounded buttress above. A large, grainy and rounded flake will help you gain access to the blunt arĂȘte (figure out for yourself if you enter lower or higher!). Once on the arĂȘte slap through good edges, doing very fun dynamic moves to good holds and cool pockets that always appear when you need them most! Shake out...
The top houses the crux and goes through a blocky section of intricate moves, especially when compared to the wild section below. A long lock off to a hidden crimp is the business. Head leftwards to the anchors via a cool gaston flake and then a few lock offs to those two happily dangling draw. Have fun!
