Bishop Trip! Part IV











So last weekend I, yet again, went back down to Bishop to go climbing. This time I was with my friend Lindsey Bath. She has only been climbing for 5 months and is working v6 and 11b. She got in Wednesday night from her trip to Texas and I was closing that night as well. She got in about the same time I got off so it worked out perfectly. After closing and picking her up we had to stop and get food for our trip. Leaving the town of Reno at the time 11pm, we drove down to the town of Bishop and  rolled in to camp at about 3am. Setting up the tent and then fell asleep. Waking up and getting really excited, he headed over to the Buttermilks to warm up and try some hard stuff. We warmed up on the Sunshine slab boulder. After doing the nice easy highballs we went over and tried the Cave Problem v3 on Grandpa Peabody boulder. I then got on the Southwest Arete 5.9 on the Grandma Peabody. After doing that I hoped on Go Granny Ho v7. I sent it first try which was pretty nice. After that we meet up with my friends and went over to where Moonraker was. After showing them how I did it we went over and got on Bowling Pin. Watching my friend Trevor Roosen flash the v4 part, I decided to get on and try the v6 sit  start to this problem. Flashing that problem we went back into town to chill and eat some food. We get back to camp and chill for a little bit and set off some bottle rockets. Waking up and going down to the gorge to get some endurance going action going on. After doing some ropes and hiking out of the gorge, we went to the Happy's to get some bouldering going down. There I sent my first v10. I did Acid Wash but I did it to the jug then did it the orginal way to do it since Dustin Sabo was the FAer. After doing that we went to go climb by moonlight. We did another climb but scared ourselves cause we thought we saw something. Waking up after dealing with some problems that night we went back to the Happy's so Lindsey can do some last minute climbing. After we were done with the day we drove home. That Bishop trip was great and exciting. I was very happy to have spent it with Lindsey. More bishop trips to come soon.
