Tieton River Rocks - 07.21.07 - 07.22.07

To avoid the rain that was falling on most of the state, Kyle and I hit the road for Tieton River Rocks to do some climbing. Closest town is Naches, WA, which is about 6 miles from the crag. The landscape had the feel of a different state for sure. We found the climbing to be a bit harder than the ratings suggested. It's mostly crack climbing on basalt columns. Pretty sustained and lots of fun!
