Bishop

Chris Sharma and Tommy Caldwell on leaning tower project and Chris makes second ascent of "Everything is Karate". One more time thanks to CASHUS PUHVEL, aka "best drone pilot in Bishop (California)", who film these amazing aerial shots.

So good being back in CA. Our next stop was the amazing boulders of The Buttermilks. From the first time Chris Sharma came here as a little kid this place has had a huge influence on him as a climber and who he is as a person.

On February 28, 2017 Nina Williams made the first female ascent of Ambrosia, a 50-foot V11 (5.14 X) on the Grandpa Peabody Boulder in the Buttermilks of Bishop, California. The first ascent was done by Kevin Jorgeson in 2009.

Alex Puccio has had a pretty mixed 2015. She has accrued an incredible ticklist of hard routes, firmly establishing herself as not just one of the best female climbers in the world, but one of the best climbers in the world, full-stop.

The Lost crew find themselves in The Pleasant Valley; deep in the Eastern Sierras, in California's high desert. The Grandiose boulders of the Buttermilks, the pocket rockets of The Happies, and the caves of the Sads will be stones we'll never forget.

Es war sein härtestes und sein längstes Projekt: 11 Tage "arbeitete" Alex Megos an dem 8C-Boulder "Lucid Dreaming" in Bishop/Kalifornien. Erstmals hatte er sich im November 2014 daran versucht, musste aber nach drei erfolglosen Tagen wieder zurück nach Deutschland.

In this excerpt from Exposure Vol. II, we'll catch up with Daniel Woods in Bishop as he takes down Paul Robinson's crimp testpiece Lucid Dreaming. Originally graded V16, this problem has some of the hardest moves ever done on rock including a dyno to a "glassy, quarter pad mini-pinch"...
