| | | Bishop is a boulderer's paradise, one of the few places in the world where a high concentration of world-class bouldering combines with magnificent scenery, convenient amenities, and near-perfect weather. This color guidebook details more than 2000 problems on two principal rock types, providing a range of options, from the fun, gymnastic pocketed tuff of the Happy and Sad Boulders, to the proud and technically demanding quartz monzonite in the Buttermilk Country. Bouldering is the activity of climbing up large rock boulders, without a rope, using only ones skill and a foam pad on the ground to defy injury. It combines strength and gymnastic ability in a way that few sports do to work the entire body. Bishop is a small town on the east side of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, and is one of the best spots in the world to practice this unique sport. Bishop Bouldering combines color photos, hand drawn topos, and word descriptions to provide a comprehensive guide.
