Top bouldering picks for November
Bishop
Buttermilks granite and Happy/Sad volcanic tuff. October to April is reliable for a full day out; summer afternoons collapse in desert heat.

Soft Blackhawk and Star Point sandstone in Utah's high desert. November is the peak, held in check by winter snow on one side and summer heat on the other.

The desert winter classic. November through March is the reliable window — also when guided tours and North Mountain reservations are busiest.
