5 out of 5 stars In the top three climbs of my life.

I found myself out in OR for a family wedding with no gear. I wanted to climb at Smith Rock, so I hired David Potter. He sugested this route. It was freakn awsome.

I just can't believe I waited so long to do this route. If you haven't done it, get your butt over there! Has some of the most insane exposure I've ever experienced. It was really windy up there the day we did it: on the rappel down I was getting pushed all over the place - really wild!

4 out of 5 stars Monkey Face, Pioneer Route

Awesome winter ascent. It snowed on us most of the day, and we where the only people in the park. Totally different experience from my other times on it. A must do route for Smith
