One of the perks of living in Reno is our access. Two weekends ago, we took an easy mini trip down to Bishop for the American Alpine’s Highball Craggin Classic.
We drove down with Dusty and Andrew on Friday night, arriving in Bishop a little late for climbing. We played some Spikeball downtown before grabbing dinner. Unfortunately, the showing of Reel Rock filled up fast and we didn’t get seats. Instead, we headed out to the Tablelands with some of Rusty’s coworkers to set up camp and enjoy a small fire.
The next morning, we headed to the Happy Boulders where everyone had a ton of success. Check out the pictures! The weather was great, the rocks were even better, and the crowds weren’t as bad as we expected. When our fingers and forearms had enough, we headed back into town for the block party where we stocked up on stickers and swag. (I won a $200 gift card for winning a pinch competition!) That night, we enjoyed an entertaining slideshow/talk presented by the one and only John Long.
We woke up early on Sunday to head back to Reno, enjoying the podcast Serial during the ride. (I highly recommend it for your next road trip). We are beyond stoked for Bishop season and already planning our next weekend on the rocks.
