Trip Report

We arrived at Smith Rock State Park on Saturday morning and headed to our primary destination called "Rope de Dope", however, the Boy Scouts had completely occupied it so we moved on to other objectives. Maryanne and Danni set up top ropes for the participants and everyone had fun challenging themselves on the climbs that had colorful names such as “Phone Call from Satan”. It was fairly hot, but due to the cloud cover we were able to persevere with climbing in the sun. After a full day on Sat we camped at Steelhead Falls; a beautiful un-improved BLM camp ground near Crooked River ranch. On Sunday we hit it early and did a multi-pitch route which brought us to the top of the rock. To get down it took a double rope rappel, meaning we tied two ropes together and rappelled off…very exciting, especially where you are hanging free (not touching the wall). After that we desperately needed to get out of the sun and so went back to “Rope de Dope” and finished the day in the shade.
