Trip Report

The rain kept us away from Smith on Sat, but we made up for it on Sunday. We camped at Steelhead Falls on Sat and had a great taco potluck Sat night. We got up early and started climbing before the crowds arrived and were able to set up climbs all day. Everyone did amazing on the rock!
