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
Technically, this route starts with Ghengis Khan although you can also start on Kung Pao. I prefer the Ghengis Khan start but the Kung Pao is equally as good and to me a bit more sustained. Above the shared anchor, climb up to the left facing corner using great holds, bust out left on positive but small finger holds paying close attention to the feet, continue up on positive holds to the final steep finish. For me the crux was fighting the pump to make the last clip before the anchor. 2 rappels to the ground
