Moonstruck.Went back to Tieton; Moon Rocks to be specific. Despite the sun, it was windy AF and we were mostly shivering (the cliff is shady in the pre-afternoon hours). Additionally, I have taken a vow to wear nothing but shorts until the lockdown silliness ends and that obviously did not help. We climbed Moonstruck (5.10a) and bid farewell to Tieton for at least a year. Goddamn, we’re itching to go further afield!
