Bishop - March 2009

Just got back from a week climbing in Bishop. It was by far the best climbing trip I’ve ever taken. Aside from getting so much time on the rock (never done a climbing trip longer than 3 days before), I ticked some amazing problems that had been on my project list for a long time.

First, some pictures…

Finishing up “King Tut” (v3)

Ripped a flapper on “Seven Spanish Angels” (v6)

Grabbing the pinch on “Seven Spanish Angels” (v6)

My kiddo kickin it in the Ice Caves

Half way up “The Hunk” (v2R)

Topping out “The Hunk” (v2R)

Sitting atop my proudest send - High Plains Drifter (v7)

And here are some videos of the climbs I did. I didn’t manage to take any video on this trip — I wanted to focus on enjoying the climbs without the hassle of setting up a video camera. But these videos of other climbers should suffice.
