Bend, Oregon
My brother Cooper has been living in a super nice Airbnb in Sunriver, OR, which is right by Bend. He had some room and told me to come so Auva and I went up for a long weekend. It was amazing! Ever since I was little I wanted to go to Oregon soooo bad (Cooper would give me shit for wanting to go so bad), and going to Bend only made me want to go back and explore more of this state.
Cooper and I hiking down into Smith Rock, where we (along with Anastasiya and Auva) did some awesome sport climbing. The scenery was breathtaking.
It was Auva's first time climbing outdoors, but she did great - I think I was still more scared than her. Here's a cool pic of me belaying her up a fun 5.9 at Smith Rock
Me climbing the same route.
We hiked to a waterfall! First we went to the top and the view was awesome, and then on the way down we found a path to the bottom of the falls, where it was ridiculously loud and windy. The pictures don't do it justice...
