Black Diamond Presents: Focus—A Bishop Highball Project with Timmy Kang

Video Release Date: April 18, 2023
Video Source: YouTube

When Timmy Kang first saw a highball boulder in Bishop, California, he immediately wanted to boot up and try the line—a rare reaction to say the least. His coach kept him from the dangerous heights that day, but it wasn’t long before he began testing himself on the area’s giant blocks. Over the years, Timmy managed to climb five of Bishop’s most iconic highballs: Footprints (V9), Ambrosia (V11), Too Big to Flail (V10), This Side of Paradise (V10), and Evilution Direct (V11). But there was one objective that kept haunting him … could he climb them all in a single day? On December 5, Timmy realized a dream and closed the chapter on his Bishop obsession with one epic day of sending.
