Joshua Tree Organic Climbing Salve: The powerhouse skin healer, this stuff is super greasy. I put this on about an hour before climbing to get some moisturizing action without making the skin too greasy. I’ve used a variety of climber balms over the years and found the following to be the best:Ĭlimb Skin (sponsored by Friction Labs for US manufacturing): Great for all around fast moisture absorption. The trick finding ones that don’t soften your skin while healing. To keep your skin healthy and send solid, treat it every night with moisturizing and healing balms. In the Milks, rest days are actually called skin days.
With the dry atmosphere and sharp crystals, it will shred and poke holes until your skin gets glassy and hard. Skin Care Kit: Bishop is BRUTAL on the skin, especially in the beginning. For further details and area beta, grab a copy of the Bishop Bouldering guidebook (see above).
Other outlying areas include the Get Carter Boulder, the Beehive Boulders (quite an approach away but home to the iconic V15, The Swarm), the Bardini Boulders, and the Checkerboard area. These two area make up the bulk of the Buttermilks and are quite condensed, making one able to walk from one side to the other in maybe ten minutes.
You can park right along the road or drive ahead a little more and park at the lot near the Roadside Boulders, where there is a pit toilet as well. Know that in the event of snow, you won’t be able to drive on this road without snow tires or chains, and AWD.Ĭlimb: The first area you’ll reach is the Buttermilks Main and with the giant Grandma and Grandpa Peabody boulders to welcome you, you’ll be hard pressed to miss it. It’s a dirt road that is often is really rough condition, so take something with decent clearance and preferably four-wheel drive, depending on whether or not the road has been graded recently. Get there: Take Highway 168 west out of Bishop and, after ten miles, turn right onto Buttermilk Road.
