A weekend down the California coast! Drove down Highway 1, camped on an amazing ridge in Big Sur, and spent a couple of nights in San Luis Obispo. While there we met up with some friends and went to Bishop Peak for a day of climbing. The climbing there was quite different than what we're used to! Some thin / scary face climbing and few cracks.

  Some 5.10c? Scary/confusing at the start... Camel, 5.10b. Scary after the 2nd bolt! Going right was easier, but a bit scary... Unsure if that's the best way

  Once you've clipped the third bolt, you're cruising! The crack is very easy and straightforward Melissa starting Camel Switching the belay jacket doesn't work so well in this case. :)
