I went to Bishop about a month ago and had a great time! My last trip to Bishop left me feeling burnt out and not so excited to return, but I’m glad I said yes to this opportunity to go again. I tried a lot of new climbs which got me stoked and even wandered around for a bit by myself. I met so many amazing and strong people during that time and it made me realize how inviting and kind the climbing community can be.
This is one climb I revisited called Cueball. I tried it on my very first trip to Bishop in 2022 and made it a goal to get back on this recent trip. I remember being happy with how hard I tried before, so I made sure to try just as hard this time around. The climb was not a “give me” so I still had to dig deep for the last big move to the lip from a left hand pocket and right hand insecure pinch. This beta suit my style better than the previous one I tried, and I’m glad to say it went 🥰
