The bend has some challenging jam cracks and is more challenging than the neighboring Royal Columns. However there are some moderate climbs as well, it's a great area with fun and challenging routes.

Note that I am also listing a climb for Monday at the Royal Columns if you are feeling strong. :')

We will meet in the pullout area for the Bend climbing, i'll send details before the climb.
