Who Let The Dogs Out

Cactus Love

Go back to Tieton.

The Bend — The Bend.

Man – what a treat! After a 6+ week imprisonment, no more bitching about the “same old shit local cragging”. No sir – we were giddy with excitement at the prospect of going to Tieton for a day. All we did was Local Knowledge (2 pitch, 5.10-) on the prow of The Bend…this time we did it in its proper 2 pitches (unlike a decade earlier when we pretty easily ran it in a single long pitch) as we’re fucking out of shape. But still – a fine day out! Things got hot and Benny enjoyed splashing around in the river for an hour. Rattlers were out in force.
