1.16 - 1.20 in the 2,015th year of our Lord

My wife and I decided to rally down to Bishop during a six day break from work. Needless to say I was very satisfied:

1. to be headed outdoors so early in the year
2. pebble wrestling at Bishop again (duH!) ... 1st time in six years!
3. superb winter free climbing weather (note: global warming is still shitty...particularly for my snow sports brethren~ sorry Mammoth)

TOP1O highlights:

1. finally found success on both High Plains Drifter and Saigon in the Buttermilks!
2. stayed at Holiday Inn ...replete with a sauna, hot tub, & swimming pool; which was very nice for recovery
3. Glo explored some trails and rocks with me at the Happy Boulders
4. got close(r) on Iron Fly 
5. purchased the wonderful guidebook for the area (finally)
6. sent v7 variation of Go Granny Go I didn't know about (thanks guidebook.)
7. was in town during the excitement of Daniel Woods' historic FA of The Process v15/16... definitely one of the craziest hard blocs in the world
8. nearly sent Morning Dove White (the beta is figured out clear and concise in my mind for when I make my reunion with that rock)
9. skin devastation and injuries (yay)
10. 32 hours of driving! 

Here's some media from the trip...

 

See y'all out there,
