I'm planning my first climbing trip to Bishop for bouldering (and/or Owens climbing if can find partner) for Memorial weekend.
BUT
How hot it could be at that time?
Where to camp? need a tent?
Anyone will be there?? (If possible, I'd prefer to have bouldering/climbing partners.)
BTW, would the Tioga Hwy open before that weekend?? (this concerned me the most!!)
Any thought?

also planning a trip to Bishop - I have a campground reservation - it's 6 hrs. from the Bay Area.
Did you find out any more information about Tioga Pass? Is there any other way to get there?

I don't think you can climb at Owens right now because they are increasing the water levels. you might want to call the shop in Mammoth and ask.

there is no official forecast date for tioga but if it's not open you can always head through tahoe if you're around sac or sf...
you can check out the latest at http://www.nps.gov/yose/now/tioga.htm
my girlfriend and i are probably there for mday as well - pm me if you want to link up. watersprite where are you camping? we usually go to horton creek - did you find something better?

I have a campground at Rock Creek Lake - tent only, sounds pretty rustic. But I may not go if I can't climb - what is the point? yah, mule days...

anizasifan?
It would surprise me if the valley were closed! My girlfriend was there 10 days ago, and have a friend who was supposed to be there the past weekend. they have climbed there quite a bit- 3 times within the last 2 months. Let me know what you find out!

Due to uncertainty of Tioga Pass open day, I've changed my mind. I think I'll go Yosemite instead.
