This labor day weekend Skip and Craig came up from LA and SD to climb in the Bishop area. Saturday we went to the dike wall by Mammoth and did a number of most excellent climbs there - a few new ones and a few repeats for me. A good time was had by all despite some humbling by the rock gods. Sunday we went to Cardinal Pinnacle and did the west face. What an awesome fun route and great rock. The mostly spacious belay ledges were appreciated as we were a party of 3. I sort of bungled the raps, but we got down ok. Then we wanted to go to the demolition derby at the fair. By the time we had eaten and headed over there it was sold out. Monday we had originally planned on heading to Pine Creek, but a tightening of schedules had us heading to the Sad boulders for some fun bouldering in the shade before they had to go.
Sometimes it takes a visit from people from out of town to make me re-appreciate just how nice things can be here on the east side, thanks for coming up guys.
