The Bend.Another day outing to Tieton this post(?)-Covid season. We repeated three classic lines: MX (5.10a), Peace, Love And Rope (5.9), and Ed’s Jam (5.8). All wonderful lines. River was running much much higher than during our outing three weeks ago and so no swimming for Benny. Surprisingly saw no rattlers.
