Road Trip, Pt. 3-Bishop: The Buttermilks

Bishop. What can you say? This place is one of the most amazing bouldering areas in the country, if not the world. The Buttermilks alone would make this place worth visiting. What makes Bishop so great? The quantity and quality, but also the diversity. Three different rock types- quartz monzonite at the Buttermilks and Druids, volcanic tuff at the Happies and Sads (and on the Sherwin Plateau), and perfect granite at Rock Creek. I could say more, but if you're a boulderer you just have to visit this place. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Here are four from the Buttermilks.
