Casey (Niles) walks the Monkey Face Highline in Smith, with a couple climbers looking on.

I thought that this was a cool self portrait of my girlfriend Lauren while belaying me on the bolt ladder.

Two years later, I still had just as much fun on this route as I did the first time. Best 5.7 in America.

I took this picture while belaying Keelin up the bolt ladder just below the Monkey's mouth. While Keelin struggled from one bolt to the next, ryegen cruised up the fixed rope.

ryegen has me on belay for the dizzyingly exposed traverse that heads out Panic Point and up the side of the Monkey's head. Any suffering or waiting in lines earlier on the climb is worth this pitch!

This is a friend and I on the summit of Monkey Face. Photo was taken by another friend on an adjacent formation. Although the route we climbed is not visible at all in this north face photo the shot does give you a great idea of the size of the feature. The west face variation from the ground would start from the lower right (west obviously) side of the formation.

Composite of two photos taken of me walking the monkey face highline. It's about a 40' gap and about 400' off the river below.

One of stops on the roadtrip was Smith Rock where we stayed with Casey. We set up the highline on the first day after we climbed the Pioneer Route and then came back to walk the next day. While Casey was warming up and taking falls getting ready to make his first send on a highline another group was climbing the Pioneer Route. The guy taking a picture from the other side is a guide who led two other climbers up. He didn't fall on this walk and made it all the way across.

Casey (Niles)gives off a grin as he approaches the mouth of the Monkey in Smith Rock, Oregon. The 300-something feet of overhang exposure makes this route quite awesomely gripping. Life on the road is good!

Quite possibly the coolest rock formation I have ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on.

Hanging out on the way to the aid pitch. Nice line to the summit! We simul-climbed as the followers on this pitch, which allowed for photo moments. . .

This is the view from the eye of the Monkey. Photo taken in late January.

Gabe sending this Monkey Face classic. This route starts with a 5 bolt A0 bolt ladder to this amazing crack. The bolt ladder can be avoided by climbing a free start to the left called Sheer Trickery, that was first climbed by Ron Kauk, Wolfgang Gullich and Alan Watts in June, 1989.

This is Heather on monkeys face..im not quite sure what route this is thoe..i need to pay more attention:)

This photo was taken around two years ago at the infamous Panic Point. This was my first time doing a multi-pitch climb, and in the photo I'm half way through my fourth pitch, and was loving the exposure. Colylc led this route, with Photo by Sam.

just hangin around, having a good time....

Gabe sending the first pitch of the West Face. This route starts with a 5 bolt AO ladder to this amazing finger crack. One of the best tuft cracks at Smith Rock. FFA with AO start, Alan Watts. 1981.

Tauna hangs out in the cave on the north side of monkey face during an ascent of monkey space. Quite a bit of photoshoppery went into lining up the panorama and making things look nice. Canon Powershot a80 stitched with Canon software and photoshop.

Sue starting into the corner crack of the second pitch of the West Face Variation. Not an all bad climb but there was some easy manky stuff mixed in with the nice corners.

And she knows how to use 'em! Here I am, my first time in aiders on the Pioneer Route on the Monkey Face at Smith Rock in Oregon (photo credit: Kevin Moyles).

Here I am fighting the wind to get my foot back in my aider. It was a fun pitch.

This was taken just as I was starting to lead the second pitch of the West Face Variation. Fun route on Monkey Face that avoids the scree scramble of the Pioneer Route. You can link the two at Bohn Street for a nice outing.

Becca Roseberry attempting the monkey face highline one more time as the sun sets over Smith Rock. Chris and Larry set this line up.

Well, we heard about it and read about it. WE WANTED TO DO THE MONKEY. WE got there, we saw the monkey, WE WANT TO GET IT NEXT YEAR. The monkey blew us away, the exposure, the height, the grades (we wanted to do the pioneer route)...another day. Photo by me on April 13th 2005.

Ok, so the picture is from Astrisk Pass, not Monkey Face, but it's posted here for now until the guy in the picture finds it, and then I'll move the shot...friend, if you find these pics leave me a comment so I know that you found them and can move this one to the right spot!
