Sage to Summit opened our Bishop rock climbing gym in the Summer of 2018 and it has been very well received by local and visiting climbers. We built the gym around the idea of bringing the climbing community together to celebrate how amazing climbing is. We also wanted to provide the local community with all the best resources to train for their climbing goals.
Running is a means of terrestrial locomotion allowing humans and other animals to move swiftly on foot. Mountain Running is a discipline of long-distance running that takes place in mountain topography. Mountain Running can be defined by two philosophies: 1) the appreciation of the joy and benefits of moving rapidly on foot through natural mountain landscapes, and/or 2) the athletic pursuit of the fastest possible speed on foot over a given mountain route, given considerations of risk and safety.
Interested in what makes a good fastpacking trip? At Sage to Summit, we cruise around the Sierra looking for loops and point-to-point routes, to check out as many places as possible. Fastpacking is one of the quickest ways to check out the Sierra. At Sage to Summit we pioneer fastpacking trips and use our ultralight gear so we can get further - faster!

This run up Silver Canyon will show you the heart of the White Mountains. You will run up a dirt road that shows little traffic- even on a busy day! The route up Silver Canyon to the top of the White Mountains provides water, canyon views, and a difficult but rewarding climb to the top of the range. This run can be done as an out and back, otherwise a car drop and someone to meet you at the top is necessary. If you don't want a gruelling run to the top of the range you can run a moderate course up the dirt road for six miles before the road climbs out of the canyon. In heavy Sierra snow years this is a terrific 20-mile run that will allow you to go the distance and gain elevation.
