Started sitting, matched on opposing crimps. Climb up through Bowling Pin after making a couple of tough moves into the start of that climb.

Gutter Ball

Bowling Pin Traverse

Started matched in the undercling/sidepull. Climb up and to the left until you are standing on the ledge roughly halfway up the boulder. Finish up the slab to top out.

One of the prouder (read: highball) boulders in the Buttermilks! Visible from afar for its tall and pinhead like shape, it has some great moderate climbs to try with a spicy top sequence.

The boulder is somewhat uphill from the main cluster and is left of the primary trails heading through the buttermilks from the parking.

The Bishop Area Climbers’ Coalition supports the community and climbing areas of the Eastern Sierra through stewardship, education, and community engagement.
