I was wondering whether I should go back this weekend or go to Dinas instead...I think my choice has been made!
As of yesterday I am now the owner of a house on half an acre in Bishop.
Now that is very cool - congrats!
With a spare room/rooms/wing for good ol' UKB buddies, right?
Nice. Do you plan to live there all year round or just use it for bouldering trips? I've ended up spending around 7-8 weeks there every year since we moved to California a few years ago and I was considering getting somewhere near there and renting it out for the rest of the year.
Year round. It gets a bit hot in the summer but there are boulders to be had nearby all the way up to 3000m elevation or even higher.
I checked out some of the alpine bouldering up around Mammoth (Way Lake etc) last summer, just before they published the new guidebook. If you've not been it's well worth the 20-30 minute walk ins (it might actually be less - we were questing around with some shitty topo we downloaded). Some great bouldering on Gneiss in fairly stunning setting. I'm hoping to take the kids back for an extended camping trip there this summer, it was a pretty special place.
Finally made it to Simons, Lords and Hen stones today. I've been chomping at the bit to go for ages. Had a great day and sent nearly everything I aimed to. It also marked my 50th 7th grade problem sinced I moved up this summer! (Yes, I'm counting, yes it is partly about the numbers).
Back on ticking form, with a quick mid day seshwan ticking a (soft) 7B+ just in time for trad season
When's the cutoff date?

so may be out by a minute or two.
