whatever chuck...they topped out so that's hardly a need for "excuse spouting", eh, bitch?
of course, you and your superhero capabilities don't need no stinkin' topo, right? you too...
except if you allow the NPS to put in rulez than they will affect the "typical climber"...and that will equate to "more trouble for the rest of us, apparently"
there was a group that did it...they said that the ledge system right above the anchors still had the blocks and they asked if there was recent rockfall...
I don't know if you could handle the approach though Rudy
Mad props to REI for giving me a new # 3 camalot
as long as you carried everything, i'd make it by the next day!
smith is way harder on your tips/fingers than anything out east...you will only be able to climb there 3 or 4 days a week w/o healing up time...bend is more than close enough and there are *enough* climbers in bend to commute with to smith...
