Bishop

I'll be in bishop friday after xmas until the sunday after new year with some people from MN. Anybody else headed out there? Reccomended places? Problems? Is it worth bringing a rope and a rack just in case?

Someone was showing me this picture of a problem in Bishop once. All I could see was, beyond the boulder with the climber on it, another boulder on top of the stack with a complete splitter offwidth. Man, it was a fine looking line.

i will be out there for the next two weeks but not while you are there. camp at the pit. bring a rope and sport rack and hit owen's river gorge if you want but all the action can happen on the boulders. i think most of the trad stuff is up in the mountians and not a winte activity but i am not sure. pick up the bishop survival guide when you get there as they update it periodically.

i think owens river crags will soon be covered with snow with a series of storms hitting CA sooon tonight, but you might want to bring ropes/gears if you want to climb highballs out there.. looootttts of highballs in bishop...

i don't think i'll be driving to bishop till mon or tues.. just in time to squeeze in between two storms...

i feel bad for these chicagoans who came at such wrong time...

hope they can go ski or snowboarding up in mammoth mtn..
