Climbing Hostels Ruuuule

Post good stories here   

Does anyone have any experiences/fun stories with old Tonsai, back when there used to be huts on the beach?

I stayed at these for the PCT, rather than climbing buuutttt:

The Hostel California (THC) in Bishop, CA is has enormous character. The huge bags of communal pot and weed plants in growing in the courtyard can tell you a lot about this place. Tons of space to kick back and free crashpad rentals. Bed/bath is also comfortable and clean.

Runner up is Bunk+Brew in Bend, OR. They give you a free beer from their permanent food trucks in the courtyard upon check in.

Not exciting stories, but worth mentioning these two pretty remarkable places for any dirtbag wandering that way. I forgot which hostel was the one where I wanted to absolutely MURDER someone in their sleep for snoring all through the night, but that's not on the hostel.

No offense here but if you aren’t using earplugs at a hostel you’re crazy. They are the loudest places to sleep.

Oh man bro, I had on my noise-cancelling airpods blasting white noise because regular earplugs weren't cutting it and I could hear this man through the airpods. Another person got up in the middle of the night after shaking the bed, the snorer didn't wake up, and guy just straight left and slept in the lounge. Snoring-man woke up the next morning all smiley, said "good morning" and the other three of us wanted to punch in his teeth so bad. There's snoring, and then there's this guy (who probably has sleep apnea but doesn't know it?). I get that dealing with others is a whole part of the experience but holy fuck, this was absurd.

Svens base camp in Fairbanks was my most recent hostel stay. Would highly recommend
