I bought a ticket to the Bishop Fall highball event and a spot in the Doug Robinson Smokes Ropecourse clinic. I can't make it to the event and it is transferable. $90 for both tickets.

I went last year and it was a blast. Nov 4th-6th:

see Reel Rock 11, see John Long, get beers at the after parties. Great climbing festival weekend. Clinic ticket is good for any clinic that has room.

Bump. These clinics are now sold out. My clinic spot for the Smokes rock course with Doug Robinson is still for sale. My buddy also has a ticket for the self rescue clinic that is available.

Here's the description:
SMOKES ROCKCOURSE: A BUTTERMILK ADVENTURE with DOUG ROBINSON
This clinic is presented by Sierra Mountain Guides. Embark upon a true Buttermilk adventure and a journey through local climbing history on this very special guided tour of Smoke's Rock Course in the Buttermilks led by climbing “golden-era” legend Doug Robinson. Smoke's Rock Course is an old-school, class 4 and 5 scramble across the Buttermilk country, first explored by Eastside climbing pioneer Smoke Blanchard. Your adventure will involve scrambling, climbing, chimneys, jumping, scooting, and hopping your way across the granite formations and should only be embarked upon by those with adequate climbing skills and those comfortable climbing 4th and easy 5th class without a rope or harness. This is a true treat, a locals secret, and some of the most fun you can have on the Eastside!
