Plan C Wall Rock Climbing

As far as Bishop Peak sport climbing goes, this is the premier area. Almost all of the routes here are safe and modern, ranging from 5.10 to 5.12+, with some even featuring perma-draws. The main wall stays shaded almost all day, year-round. A spacious ledge offers superb views and a comfortable hangout spot, with a few bolts available to secure gear on the more exposed sections of the crag. It is worth noting that while the ledge is large, there is a steep drop off that would result in severe injury or death should you trip.

Plan C Wall has a long history on the peak. This is evident from the smattering of old chopped bolts and the remains of glued-on or ripped-off creations in some of the blank sections. In the past, the main wall was known as “Abortion Wall” due to the number of times climbers would begin establishing a route only for a crucial hold to break, leaving the project abandoned once again. The wall was revived in 2023, finally yielding several completed and seemingly stable climbs.
