Distel32 Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Hey so Bishop kicks even more ass than I could have ever imagined. Did the best problem in the world, High Plains Drifter. Bottom line, it is the coolest problem ever! I have zillions of pics and they will be up over the next few days so check out the bouldering gallery. I got to climb with Matt Birch for a few days and have some cool pics of him making v12 look like v1. Plus I have 50+ pics of 3 problems that are totally classic and would guarantee nobody on this site has ever even seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willstrickland Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Distel, for next trip: Secrets of the Beehive (shhh! it's a secret, V5 but DFU) Robbins Arete aka Rockcraft Arete - G. Peabody (nothin like a 40' V0) Happy Boulders V10s (to pad - no pun intended - the resume) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Welcome back, Distel. Glad you had a good trip. Bishop rocks for climbing. If it wasn't so expensive to live in Cali, and there was any decent work, and a bit more culture, I would live in Bishop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD_CILLEY Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Carnage is not a boulder problem.I´ts a chipped abortion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distel32 Posted December 25, 2003 Author Share Posted December 25, 2003 Yeah Will I looked at that Secrets, cool for sure, but the crux move is made while sitting?? Loses some attraction, you know? Plus it was a rest day and I was checking out Matt Birch's project, soooo sick. The Brown Wall at the beehive, minimum v14, very bad crimps........ The tablelands are lame. We went there once and only because it snowed in the milks. Spent the rest of our time in the milks, druids, pollen grains, bardini's, and Dales Camp, my new favorite area!

Norsky Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Nice pics D. They take me back two summers ago waking up a 5AM to beat the heat and then head into that coffee shop for the rest of the day. What was the name of it? Kavala? I swear we had Bishop bouldering all to ourselves...wonder why. 100+ temps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distel32 Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 Kava, great little place. I finally found the printed out beta for middle earth so I'll type it up and get it to you in the next day or two. Eric from Kava (not sure if you know him) is an amazing climber!

Sounds good By the way, how were temps down there at this time of year? I see snow in your pics. Was it crowded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distel32 Posted January 1, 2004 Author Share Posted January 1, 2004 not really crowded, warm in the sun, people climbing without shirts, chilly and great friction in the shade, about 20deg every night. I was sleeping in a van with my gf and all the condensation froze on the inside of the van every night. Chilly, but the temps were perfect during the day. Crowded if you went to the birthday boulders or ironman, but never saw anybody in 2 days at the pollen grains, only matt birch at get carter and the beehive, nobody at dale's camp, nobody at bardinis, and nobody at the druids. There are so many boulders, if you leave the milks I doubt you will see anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
