You're right. Alan Watts doesn't know shit about Smith Rock. The locals are keeping all of the good shit for themselves. Those 1800+ routes and 500 pages that took him over a decade to compile are just for the tourons and jackasses like me. Hahaha... you're right. Next time I'll just buy a guidebook and start climbing the 500+ routes alphabetically. I have a guidebook. I'm asking people that have left their mothers basement and actually climbed the suggested and obscure routes, what the MUST do routes are. I'm not asking what routes are located at Smith Rock so that I can magically find them and climb them without any guidebook to assist me. I also want to know what SEVERAL people consider to be a standard rack. To those that gave a legitimate answer Thank-you!

You have to love this forum: 335 views 14 posts percentage of jackasses 70% Rockclimbing.com: 163 views 5 posts percentage of jackasses 0% To those of you that have actually gone places and understand that the guidebook is one guys opinion and that locals often know of hidden gems or give you a better perscective of what to bring... thank-you. You're the only reason I post anything here. To the rest of you, good to see that you're still entertaining yourselves... don't leave your computers, you might lose your sense of humor.

Heading to Smith tomorrow. What's a standard rack for the area and what are the must do routes both sport and trad from 5.8-5.10? Cheers
