Description Suggest change

A quiet spot to beat the crowds during peak season or for early morning burns on several top quality test pieces in the summer, the Sexy Bloc is relatively unknown and offers a handful of quality problems that you can send in solitude. One can almost certainly expect to be alone in this sector as it's one of the newest sections in Bishop.

Thin seams and sharp granite that eat your skin alive is typical of Buttermilk country, and this small area is no exception.

Getting There Suggest change

From downtown Bishop follow the highway 7.2 miles to the Buttermilks road entrance. Drive approximately 2 miles and take a right on an obscure dirt road to the right (immediately after crossing McGee Creek).Follow this road .06 miles to the boulder that will be situated on the right side of the dirt road at obvious pullouts.

***Please respect the area and pack out all trash, and please no camping or fire rings here or you will be fined by the BLM.***

Recently there were fire-pits discovered at the pullout and copious nails from burnt pallets remained in the parking area, (See Pics). While it's unlikely it was climbers, please respect this area and tell people not to camp here and NOT have fires at this location. Additionally, someone built a fire directly under the boulder next to the start of the problems and it's now chipped and charred black. This is unacceptable! =/
