Leaving Smith










Chillin' by the light of the Campfire and PSP. Yep.

Shenanigans.

Leaving the park after climbing for a day. The walk out is long and uphill, but the views are spectacular.


Blue skies, it is good to see blue skies.

Smith Rock treated us well. Blue skies, good temperatures and great climbs. We got a lot done in the short time that we were here. Here are some of the pictures from the visit, and we will be posting a video shortly. The highlight of the trip was probably the climb up Zebra/Zion. The last pitch is 5.9 overhanging jugs at the top of a 400 foot wall. Nothing but air beneath your feet! It was so quality. The camping was good too(a bit cold at night, I had frost on my pad this morning), and hanging out around the campfire was great. Today, we are getting back on the road and heading to Arcata to hang out on the beach. Boulder a bit on the beach and nap in the sun.

Melody and I have checked out your blog. We are so happy you are having a grand time. We have looked at your pics and it is obvious you are hitting the prime spots. I was happy you hit Lot of Balls. that is a great climb. I have got to say I am glad i am not following you on some of that stuff. It would be jumar time. hehe

Melody thinks it is amazing how much you look like your father and she is impressed with your skills. She believes this is a soul defining trip. Very defining I am sure. We are both very happy and proud of you Hunter. And you have done a great job of picking quality people to hang out with.

We are sure it is a spiritual experience and thank you all for sharing the moment. Climb safe.

Ken and Melody
