Bishop this weekend- best spots for cold weather climbing
|
Hey all, |
|
I think ono of the more comfortable cold-weather camping options for Bishop would be the Creekside Inn. |
|
Thanks for the reply. I actually was looking for best spots to climb. |
|

|
sunny side of owens river gorge and sunny boulders at the happy/sad boulders. |

If you chase the sun in ORG you'll be fine. Climbed there 2 weekends ago with highs in the low 50's. It was down right hot in the sun. Just bring a puffy for when you are in the shade. Better yet... Go ice climbing! |

The Happy Boulders are the best place in Bishop to be during cold/stormy weather. It is lower elevation than the ORG and the Milks (+1 warmer), tends to be reasonably wind-sheltered (+2 warmer), has good options for sun (+3 warmer), and it is bouldering, which is generally more pleasant than sport climbing if it is really cold. |

" Climbed there 2 weekends ago with highs in the low 50's. It was down right hot in the sun." ..... Josh, I climb in the ORG all year round, its mostly always doable, but I have some limits as far as temps go.... if over 105 in B town don't go you will roast. If lower than 50 ..... you will freez your butt. |

Mammoth just got 16 inches of powder, maybe the universe is telling you to tackle skiing/boarding for the weekend instead?? |

Alright, alright, it will probably be too cold. I guess "cold" is pretty subjective. |
|
It's not "too" cold. It's just cold. |
