Boudlering/ Climbing in LA 17-Dec-2007 At 10:42:56 AM dr_fil_good

I agree with duglash - LA is a f'n hole. Move to San Fran mate. J-Tree is very limited for bouldering, the bouldering is good but Bishop is THE SHIZ for bouldering, mind boggling friction slabs at the Druids and Buttermilks and steep cranking at the Happy Boulders - dunno about the Sads though. Also, just north of SF you have Castle soething or other, Font--style sandstone bouldering - the Californians don't think so much of it but that's cause they all like slab climbing and crack climbing. Yosem is a devilish place to boulder, granite without the friction ... argh! You're going to have a ball, California, Arizona, and Nevada are littered with climbing areas, it's just mind blowing.

get onto drtopo.com and start making and printing your guide books before you go. Especially for bouldering in Bishop (Buttermilks, Druids, Happy *& Sad Boulders) and Yosemite. 'cause the local books are well below average
