After J-Tree we went to Bishop for three weeks. We mainly climbed at the Buttermilks and set up camp a mile or so above the boulders. The Buttermilks is a beautiful place and the rock is perfect. I struggled with the bouldering, not really being a boulderer, but I learnt a lot… from the rock and from Ryan and Katy. I also struggled with my skin, which is a real issue in Bishop. Your skin definitely thins before the psyche and the muscle power, which is a shame.
