Climbing Rangers 

People from all over the world visit the Eastern Sierra to experience some of the most challenging and beautiful climbs in iconic rock formations. In 2020, the Bishop Area Climbers Coalition, Eastern Sierra Interpretive Association (ESIA), and Friends of the Inyo in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management Bishop Field Office, the Inyo National Forest, and LADWP hired two climbing rangers to patrol the increasingly popular climbing and bouldering areas in the Bishop area.
