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
Awesome route that follows a reversed S shaped line of mostly incut edges and pockets. The hardest move for me was getting to the first bolt. After that thoughtful movement leads to the technical crux mid way, then keeps you on your toes until after the last bolt. From there a bit runout to the anchor on slightly cruncy low angle rock.(pockets that will accept gear are abundant though, I placed a .5 Tri-cam) Other than the runout to the anchor the bolting is perfect on this thing. The anchor on top could use some loving and I would recommend rapping to save your rope. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
