This may be from a few years ago, but still a proud send, congrats Dan! Dan Beall makes the 3rd ascent and 1st ground-up ascent of “Luminance” – V11 in Bishop, CA, on October 17th, 2009. With one of the worst landings in the Buttermilks, four pads, three spotters, and terrible temps, conditions were less [...]
Uncut send footage of Direct North V14 in the Buttermilks of Bishop, California.
This video is about a new Sit Down Start (SDS) to Seven Spanish Angels, a classic boulder problem in the Buttermilks in Bishop, CA, USA. I believe this might actually be a First Ascent (FA) for me… The new start flows really well into the original stand start, and basically doubles the number of moves [...]
This is one of my must do problems on my lifetime tick list. I am not sure if I can top it out, but sending it to the lip will be enough for me. Great send! A HUGE thank you to Kevin, Nolan, Gaz, Radle and Ken for the spots and pads!!! You guys helped [...]
Alex Johnson stopped by Bishop on the way from Yosemite to Boulder for one day, with one goal in mind: to climb the inspiring and imposing highball Luminance. A big crew came out to help make the landing safe. Alex flashed the rig, and Mark Heal, Josh Horsley, Steve Bradshaw, and Elliot Faber also did [...]
Here is a cool flashback video from 2008. You ever wonder how these guys like Dave Graham get so strong? I am sure they have some genetic advantages, but ultimately they work hard at their craft. This hang board circuit is crazy, super strong finger power.
I managed to capture some good sends one nice morning at the Grandma Peabody. Good temps came in and psych was high. Jeremy Ho climbed the fierce Center Direct. I took down my nemesis The Mystery (felt like v12 to me!) and Mark Heal impressively fired off the burly and nasty Direction (V13). I will [...]
In September of 2011 we hit the road in Lax (my not so trusty ole ’82 Granville) and headed south from Portland to run the Rogue River, climb Mt. Shasta, and visit Yosemite enroute to Bishop where we would settle for the fall. This film documents our time in Bishop, bouldering. The hope was to [...]
Another fine boulder problem from the Butttermilks, tough one when it is warm, but when the cool temps chill that upper pinch it is muy bueno! Einar går Soulslinger V9 i Bishop
