this past weekend we went down to smith rock in central oregon to rock climb. there was a whole group of us going. the second day i hiked around alone. these are pictures from my hike to the top and the back side. this first picture is of the climb called monkey face. can you see the face? it involves using a bolt ladder. the mouth gives climbers a place to hang out, but getting out of the mouth & going up is pretty scary. actually, the whole climb is crazy. it's just a 5.7, but crazy scary because it's just out in the open. it's one of j's favorite climbs. there are some climbers in the mouth in the picture, and there's one at the top, with one on the way, but it's hard to see in this crappy cell phone photo.
