I will attempt to add news/events info or images relating to Bishop Bouldering here.

Likely new line on massive block near the Secrets Area

Nov 24 2007: Kevin Jorgeson climbed the route, The Golden Rule (5.12, E5/6?). The problem/route that took three pieces of gear is on a massive boulder that sits in the deep ravine between Secrets of the Beehive area and the Windy Wall, below the normal hike to the Secrets Area. The lower section of unprotected and very nervy v4 moves are the key to the line. Following this, some cams/nuts in the crack protect some more bold climbing up the upper arete.

Check out this slideshow of the line (Thanks to Andy Mann for the images):

Ty Landman climbs testpieces in two day trip

Nov 9-10 2007: On the 9th, Tyler Landman climbed The Swarm (v14), which he'd been trying during a previous trip. The next day he climbed both Xavier's Roof (v12) and Direction (v13). See more about Ty in the Bishop Bouldering Blog for November.

You can also read about Ty's climbing in his own words on the MOON Climbing Blog.

Tony Lamiche Visit

Nov 2007: French boulderer Anthony Lamiche visited Bishop at the end of October staying through the first week of November. Unlike his last trip to the area in 2002 for the Petzl Roc Trip, during which he was motivated to do some hard projects, this one was for relaxing with no particular agenda. He was recovering from a back injury sustained during a stay in Colorado, and so, by his standards, not in top shape. The weather was hot and sunny the whole time, but conditions were pretty nice at high elevation areas such as Way Lake above Mammoth and at Tuolumne Meadows. Tony quickly repeated my testpieces at Way Lake: Wave Catcher (v10/11) and the amazing Seam Project (v11/12), which he was kind enough to let me do first! Up at Tuolumne he climbed Thunderbird (v12?) in a very short session, inspiring me to do the same, though I tore a rib in the process. He also climbed some lines that had gone undone since breakages, such as Gasperini (v12) at the Druids and Xavier's Roof (v13?) at Dale's Camp.
