Charlie Barrett is a native of Sonoma County, who relocated to the Mammoth area over thirteen years ago. Relocating to Mammoth has allowed Charlie to be centrally located to Tuolumne Meadows, the Bishop region, the High Sierra and all of the wonderful crags and bouldering areas around Mammoth and June Lake. As an Asana sponsored athlete, Charlie has already made his mark with first ascents of many boulder problems and rock climbs in the region.
His foray into guidebook authoring came naturally as one day Charlie and a few friends were bouldering at a new area called Hartley Springs and they all agreed that the area needed a guidebook. After calling some long time locals and asking permission to do the guidebook everyone OK’ed the idea. The guide took about a year of work and came out in September of 2012. We are excited to have Charlie back to the Rock Ice & Mountain Club and he is psyched to show off some pictures of the area and get people stoked on the amazing bouldering and climbing around Mammoth!
