Halloween weekend

The weekend of Halloween, 10/31-11/2 a group of friends came from the Bay Area and we rented a cabin up I'm Mammoth Lakes, which is about 45 minutes outside of bishop. The first night I was the only one there for a few hours so I played a little guitar, sang a few songs and then messed around with some video edits. Glory and Chris were the next to arrive and then there were finally people to talk to and start planning out where we wanted to climb the next couple days.

The plan for what we would do was basically up to me and Ryan, who decided to show up at like 130am and be hella loud(well the group he brought was at least). Haha 

Because a few of our group had never been to bishop before we did what seemed like the best option and started them out at the Happy boulders in the tablelands. We all had a really good time climbing the only problem we really had is the wind was blowing at like 30MPH!  The last two areas/climbs we hit that first day were the hulk which Chris is trying here
 and mr. Witty. Neither of them went but there's always next time. As we drove back we decided to go to the hot springs by the green church near mammoth. I can't remember the name of the spring but it was amazing! The water was rediculously hot and felt incredible after a long day of climbing. 

That night it started to snow in mammoth and kept snowing until about noon the next day!
I can't recall ever really being snowed on like that before, it was quite the experience. 

The next day when we woke up to find snow everywhere it was decided that we would have a snow day and we ended up screwing around the entire day inside the cabin. Doing everything from playing games
to exercising using the rafters to watching movies.
Heres Chris in his Halloween costume wrestling for control of the hammock. Lol
It was a good day and to top it off we had hot pot which Glory had planed and brought so we might feast!!

We were going to climb somewhere in mammoth the last day but because it had snowed like 5+ inches the boulders were still covered and we went to the Sad Boulders on the tablelands.

We stayed right around the ice caves all day and it ended up laying off I was able to get Shizzam(v5), You Gotta be kidding me!(v5), a bunch if lower stuff in the area and I got an onsight of Fulled By Hate(v5) all in all a pretty darn good day. Ryan also got Shizzam, he actually showed me how to do it! I can't wait to finish all the vids from Halloween weekend!
