Can any Bend locals tell me what it's like right now? The forecast for this weekend is predicting sunny with highs in the 30s, but I know that the actual temperature at Smith Rock is often much higher than the predicted highs as long as you're in the sun. How does this weekend look for a quick trip down from Portland?

i just noticed this so sorry for the late reply.

while it stayed sunny most of the weekend... - it was pretty cold.

(edit) i hear it was warm at smith on sunday. i was bouldering east of bend and it was cold with snow on the top outs.

It's been great at smith, ive been climbing for 3 weekends in a row there, the only problem is sence it's sub 0 you need many hand warmers and its not possable to take deep breaths becuase of how cold it is. It's not the hard sending season anymore, But its great if you want to go down and on-site a bunch of 5.12's.
-Enjoy, see you down there.
