Jeremy- great as always. Not climbing very strong right now but DRL Daze is more about friends. The bouldering is just the icing on the cake for me.
BIOTCH yeah, just missed the Chinchen squad by a day.
So many great memories that fall under the "That's Bouldering right there" category.
Distilled moments. From the sends, the laughs, the failures...it's all good.
Here's my mini triumph:
15 years ago I rolled through town to kick it with my homies and went up to the Milks for an evening circuit. I was living at the beach in full surf mode and hadn't climbed in a few years.
Much of the Buttermilks is hard and/or high so I was relegated to mostly cruisers.
Right next to the Peabodies is a boulder called The Peewee. If it weren't next to two of the biggest boulders in the world it would be considered a pretty big rock.
There's an attractive line on it that appealed to me, we call it the Baby Bachar, so I gave it a go.
One go.
I was too scared to commit to the insecure crux and the height following.
So I bailed.
I've been back to The Buttermilks numerous times since, always wanting to go back to the Peewee but never did. I'm usually following my posse of crushers around to their projects and doing the downclimbs lol.
This time I said I would not let another trip to Bishop go by without going back to the Baby Bachar.
It haunted me because I have this old photo on my bookcase and I see it every day.
On my last day there, I felt it slipping away. I still hadn't been back to the Peewee and time(and skin!) was limited.
My friends were on a rest day- bbq ing and drinking beer by the pond.
They knew this silly little objective was important to me so they possed up, tossed in the pads, and made the bumpy drive up to the Milks to support me on this one problem. I actually had a posse!
Long story short, I crushed it, and damn it felt good.
That's bouldering right there.
And true friendship.

It all counts Moose.
And Stahl- not so much honing the craft, just took getting back into climbing.
For me, back then, v3 at the Milks off a 3yr couch wasn't happening. The big deal for me on that boulder was not the difficulty or height this time, just getting the monkey off my back.
I will say I've honed my color coordination in the 15 years it took to return to that damn boulder :-)
Speaking of v3's at the Buttermilks...
Send of the day, this particular day, had to go to 11yr old Miles, for sticking the huge move to the lip on this tall v3 on the Get Carter boulder. It was a real stoker for the whole crew.
He and his dad RD are a veritable SWAT team of unbridled tenacity, enthusiasm, and humor, and they're damn good climbers.
After this, the DRL mob moved on to take over another boulder.

Friend- yeah it's pretty nutty, especially around spring break.
Luckily we mob deep with dogs and kids and we're generally old and creepy and local and climb pretty good, and just take over.
BTW- S.i.S has changed....

Ha, excellent photos my friend. Cool to see the young crusher, I remember being a little gripped on that V3 on the Get Carter boulder. Bishop always brings back good memories, always took me a couple days to get used to the crowds, but when in Rome and sh#t.

That Peewee problem is classic. It would be more popular if it was 100 yards closer to the other boulders. Next to Grandma and grandpa, it looks small, but it's a lot of fun.
