Clips are for Kids offers a compact but engaging sport climb set in the heart of the Owens River Gorge, a playground for climbers seeking a mix of technical slab and steeper, pocketed terrain. The route begins with a delicate slab that tests your footwork, its smooth surface demanding attention to balance over brute strength. As you ascend, the slab flows into a well-defined dihedral peppered with tactile pockets, inviting precise hand placements that reward focus and finesse. The climb then sweeps left, easing into a transition zone before launching onto a steep headwall characterized by rounded bulges and deep holes. These features provide dynamic movement and enjoyable sequences, challenging your body to adapt quickly between smearing, jamming, and delicate pulling. The final meters carry you to a set of solid anchors, where you can pause to appreciate the raw, open landscape of the Gorge. With just one pitch extending 45 feet, the climb packs intensity in a brief encounter, making it ideal for a warm-up or for climbers looking to sharpen technique without committing to lengthy routes. Owens River Gorge’s dry, sunny climate pairs well with Clips are for Kids, especially during shoulder seasons when temperatures are mild, and the crowds thin. Approach is straightforward from the Kidding Area parking, leading through a short scramble with no technical difficulties. The six-bolt line demands sport climbing gear, and anchors are stable and user-friendly. Remember to bring clean shoes to navigate the slab efficiently, and prepare for sun exposure owing to the route’s southern aspect. Whether you’re polishing footwork or craving a taste of technical friction climbing surrounded by the high desert’s open skies, this route offers an accessible, lively experience that’s true to Owens Gorge’s reputation for strong granite and clear lines.
