The Wild Wild West

Ladies and gentlemen... It's award season! If you own a TV you know what I'm talking about; the Oscars, Golden Globes, Grammys, the Academy Awards, etc. Watching the Golden Globes in our hotel room one evening we got the idea to create our own prize, given to the day's MVP. The MVP is voted on by the group, and is the climber who has the best personal day on the rocks. Behold, the coveted Silver Stone!

Since constructing the Silver Stone, the competition has really heated up. With the battle for the trophy hanging on the line, we devoted a few days to racking up some Buttermilk classics.

Rest day activities around Bishop are lacking. We usually spend our non-climbing days lounging in the Black Sheep coffee shop using the internet and drinking delicious hot cocoas, but recently we decided to start making our own fun.

 It turns out all you need is a Glock and a couple coke cans and you end up with "Bishop's Angels!!"

I managed to hit near the target every time, but I never ended up nailing it, and Lisa pulled off a direct hit! I'm going to continue working on my aim on our rest days.
