Although we still have beach
weather in San Luis Obispo, it is October in Bishop and the temps were looking
good enough to venture outside for the first trip of the season. Joe, Sara, Sam
and I rendezvoused with Cody, Alex and (surprisingly) Adam at the Buttermilks
for a mellow weekend on granite.

We spent most of our time meandering
around the main Buttermilks area with one morning spent at the Secrets. The
Secrets of the Beehive area is home to some of Bishop’s most inspiring lines.
However, we opted out of trying more highballs and enjoyed the unique granite
huecos of the Queen Sweet Nectar boulder. The four guys made quick work of Queen Sweet Nectar (V9), while Sara battled some slab on the other side of the
boulder. (She also ate all of my dark chocolate covered espresso beans.)

A cliché black and white photograph of a mountain.
It feels great to be back on rock after not climbing for so
long. Seems like my tendons might be making a comeback. Stay classy San Luis Obispo.
