Some of the best bouldering in the Eastern Sierras. Easily accessible camping. Scenic mountain views.
The Buttermilks is a historical climbing area that is home to some of the worlds most famous rock climbs. It is located at the base of the Eastern Sierras near Bishop, CA. In this region there are 3 main bouldering areas: The Happies, The Sads, and The Buttermilks.
The Buttermilks are massive granite boulders ranging up to 45' plus. This spot is like a proving ground for climbers. All of the greats have and continue to come here to climb the classics that have been put up and to add their own. This is a must visit for any rock climber! Please use Leave No Trace practices.
