Best problems in Bishop
|
Hey all! I was just wondering what everyone's favorite problems are in bishop, if you could just name one? I know there are probably hundreds but this way we could maybe get only the best of the best! |

My favorite problem in Bishop is definitely Seven Spanish Angels AKA The Ruckus. The movement is awesome and the unique holds make it a really fun problem. The crux for me was the last move before the top out, and it's a fun, exciting, dynamic move to a bomber jug. Another one worth mentioning is Strength in Numbers, a cool V5 at the Sad Boulders, which has cool moves and a heady top out you would not want to blow. |

I think Zach has hit the nail on the head for midrange stuff. If I was a beast, Xavier's Roof and Fall Guy look pretty amazing. |

It would be easier to answer your question if we knew how hard you boulder. Having said that, if you can choke out V5, Strength in Numbers is a great problem, but the area is littered with great problems. Personally, I think half of the fun of each place (the Milks, the Happies, the Sads, etc.) is exploring the place and climbing what looks good. Good time guaranteed no matter what. |

Start with the ones that don't have piles of human excrement underneath them. |

I second Seven Spanish Angels. Its a wonderful problem |

Like I said though, some of the best times I've had out there is just wandering around and climbing what looked good, wondering if there's another awesome problem just uphill or on the other side of the boulder--discovering the place. Plus, and this may not be an issue to you, but the problems that everyone suggests as their favorites are probably going to be the ones with most people on them. I think it's fun to meet new people, give and receive encouragement, a spot, but I dislike the scene with a dozen people standing preening around with their dogs, boom boxes, etc. |

@Fat Dad, thanks for the insight. I agree I don't need a peanut gallery either.. That's how I like to climb too, not knowing what I'm getting on and then coming back here and finding out I onsighted 12a or a v8 is always fun too. Not that I climb that strong. I'm just a noob to bishop And thought I could get some idea of where to start. Maybe also we will all figure out what the best liked problem is, so far it looks like Strength in Numbers |

Picturesque, fun climbing, high enough for a touch of spice... Jedi Mind Tricks.
Whiskey Beer and Spliff hits for breakfast was fun too, Strength in Numbers, Hulk and Serengetti are all Classic (SIN the best of them). 7 Spanish Angels for sure (beware the evening gangbang session, or if you feed off the energy, then go for it!) Suspended is really cool and well, what everyone else said. |

The two that I have pictures of next to my garage wall are Soulslinger and Stained Glass. They are that good. Stained Glass |
