Summary

Shirley leading Western Front (5.3) at the Royal Columns - a fun area classic (at least back in April of 2003).

In April of 2003 we made our first trip to Tieton during the Mazamas’ Advanced Rock course. Our friend Brian Jenkins was also there (not taking the course 🙂 ) We did most of the easy classics there including Western Front (5.3), Good Timer (5.4), Level Head (5.6), Cutting Edge (5.7), Little Known Wonder (5.7), possibly a couple others…I recall that last one being my proud outing of the weekend.
