BISHOP

Im trying new tactics for this blogpost, A; posting WAY more photos so I wont have to write so much. B; trying to write in English because this damn keyboard doesn't have our nice Swedish letters.
So, I was down in Bishop for 5 days. Probably one of the most beautiful places I ever been to. Its a lot of areas to climb in but we spent our 3 climbing days in Buttermilks where you probably could spend 3 years without getting bored. Buttermilks have some of the biggest, tallest boulders in the world and it's so cool just being around them.
A cause of that is that most of the problems are really high and kinda scary, you can get around that by either not climb those problems or bring a fuck load of pads. Another thing to know about Buttermilks is that even though the boulders are those big, round egg shaped things, its kinda sharp - at least until your skin get used to it. For those fuckers that think Kjugekull is sharp, after a visit here, you will look at Kjugekull as nothing else then a innocent baby butt without hair.

Waking up time right bye Buttermilks main area

Kaffe and the eastern Sierras


One of the rest day hikes, looking for boulders to try the following day


Some extreme mountaineering


As an extreme mountaineer, its all about the freaking descent


Christine is doing one of the classic boulders on the "Green Wall"


Kevin is finishing one of the boulders on the "Grandma Peabody" boulder


Maybe one of the most famous problem in Bishop, The Checkerboard.





Christine are doing "Milk the Milks", a really cool V6 problem on the "Tut"- boulder


The "Tut" boulder again, me, dragging my Swedish butt up on "Howard Carter sit start" - a V6 thing thats definitely ended up being one of my favorites.





Pervert, masturbating in the bushes





OH BOY, such a cool problem, and also something i definitely will come back to in a month or so. This is Stained Glass V10, by far the most beautiful looking problem I tried this time.


Following: Some rest day, hippie photos...

Moe's Valley

Nu, efter 2,5 vecka bland hippies och Mormoner har jag samlat kraft till ännu ett tafatt blogginlägg.
Utanfor St. George, som for övrigt är pensionerade Mormoners "gateway to heaven", ligger Moe's Valley - en halvstor gryta med massa block av blandad kvalitet och storlek. Det är helt enkelt en perfekt destination till allt fran vitamin D konsumering, iakta Polygami familjer med ALLT för högt BMI och för manga barn etc. Hur som helst, mitt i allt detta finns det otroligt rolig bouldering. Det är helt klart inte stallet du stannar månadsvis, men för nagra dagar här och där är det perfekt.

Moe's har otroligt stor potential, hade dock varit betydligt större potential om stenkvalliten varit något bättre.








Borstning under frustration.

En annan fin, lång sandig linje på "Dragonfly" blocket


Dragonfly V11, en av dom många boulders det är vart att återkomma till.


Bröd, Nutella, Avocado, ägg


Kör söderut i Utah, en av dom mest konservativa, vackraste, konstigaste staterna i US and A





I dom flesta staterna i USA finns det en "Carpool lane", vilket innäbar att om du är mer än en passagerare i bilen får du ligga i den filen - vi fyller garanterat det kravet med 4 människor, 2 hundar, 4 paddor etc.
