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
This climb starts in a jumbled flake system with good finger locks and solid nut placements. At the top of the flake, clip a bolt and move slightly right and then up an easy, runout face, heading for the obvious crack. A short juggy crack section leads to a beautiful right leaning thin hands/off fingers crack. Follow this up to a mussy hook anchor. Two rappels (or two ropes) to the ground.
