Well I can't speak for Jeremy but I'm still pretty stoked on Bishop.
My Valentines Day weekend was spent trying new, harder climbs where I wasn't really focused so much on sending, but more on just figuring out how the climbs worked. I tried High Plains Drifter, Saigon and Yayoi Right in the Buttermilks - I tried Every Color You Are, Action Figure and Cholos in the Happys and got completely shut down by Erotic Terrorist and Kung Fu Grip in the Sads (That shit is hard). But regardless, they were all good experiences. I'm delighted to say that I made it farther on these climbs than expected and can't wait for the colder temperatures again next fall to start seriously working on them. I will for sure be making another trip out there though this spring.
I also sent my first V6! Mr. Witty in the Happys. What an awesome feeling. Last trip I did V3: Solarium, V4: Mothership Connect, V5: Serengeti, and now this trip sending V6, respectively. It's always good to make progress!!
I did hurt my shoulder and will be taking a week or two off, but am definitely looking forward to start working on routes for the spring and can't wait to see Yosemite again: it's been entirely too long since I've set foot in the Valley! I've always gotten shut down on boulder problems there, but am really excited to see what I can do now! Maybe I'll even follow someone up some trad routes!
BEST TRIP EVER!?
