Day 121: Sun to Snow
A few days ago April described temperatures almost reaching 90 degrees here in Bishop, CA. Today we woke to snow covered mountains and perfect bouldering conditions. Temperatures when we started climbing were probably around 35 degrees (Fahrenheit) at The Buttermilks. Friction was perfect. After a few easy warm-up climbs I ditched the group and said I’d meet them at the Grandma Peabody boulder in a few minutes. I was psyched to warm up my finger tips by giving Center Direct, v10, a go. After a few quick laps on Go Granny Go, v5 I couldn’t wait any longer. I threw my pad under Center Direct and sent, first go. I packed up and as the group was walking down the hill to join me I said, “So, what’s next?”
Here are a few pictures of what came next…
