So Bishop proved to be somewhat of a bust. Around day 3 of my trip the temperature was reaching 110. So, on the following day, I bailed. When I got back Daniel and I decided to go spend three days in Tahoe and check out some of its classic problems. So yesterday we got up there, and started the day on some problems at Split Rock. Next we decided to check out White Lines, which is claimed to be Midnight Lightning of tahoe. After an hour of searching, running up and down talus fields, we could not find it. So if anyone reads this and can give me decent directions (and/or GPS coordinates) it would be greatly appreciated. After no luck finding that boulder, we wanted to go check out a classic problem called Midnight Train in the Saddle Boulders. The driving approach to this set of boulders proved to be quite awesome. It involved driving through old, wet train tunnels near Donnor Summit. Midnight Train turned out to be a super cool aesthetic line. After a handful of tries Daniel sent it, and I know have another problem to add to my personal project list. Unfortunately quickly after Daniel's send, in the spirit of our summer bouldering experiences thus far, a huge thunderstorm rolled and dumped buckets. So last night we made the decision to go home and climb in Berkeley or Castle Rock today.
