We met Ian, Julie and Link while climbing at the Happy Boulders at the beginning of our stay in Bishop. They were on the tale end of their 6 month climbing trip living in their built out Sprinter Van. Zion fell in love with Link and we all became instant friends.

We explored Owen’s River Gorge….

The walls were so grand filled with bolted routes. Group discussing where to climb first.

Busy day at the crag!
