Mr. Washington goes to Smith

[North_by_Northwest]

So I have ten days off starting around the 3 or 4 of Nov. and I'm thinking of going to Smith. I've been there once and the climbing was good but the scene was

I am not much of a sport climber and I'd like to get on these routes down there:

White Satin

Pack Animal Direct 10b

Crack of Infinity 10b

Zebra Zion 10a

Solar 5.9

W. Face Variation/Pioneer Route on Monkey Face 5.8/A0

Trezlar 10a

Titanium Jag 10b Amphetamine Grip 5.7

Moscow 5.6

Peking 5.8

They are mostly multipitch trad routes, and they all look fun from the guidebook descriptions.

 

I need a partner who would like to spend the whole week there and is interested in this type of climbing (and some beer drinking). I will get on some sport routes for fun or belay you on a project but my primary interests are listed above.

I will drive if gas $ is split and I will pick you up if you live near Seattle or on the way to Smith.

PM if interested.

"Mr. Washington goes to Smith" Really good one there.

 

Don't pass up some sweet single pitch trad stuff too:

 

Lion's Jaw: 5.8

Moonshine Dihedral: 5.9

Karate Crack: 5.10a

Delerium Tremens: 5.10-

 

Can't join you but sounds like fun. Be sure to visit the breweries in Bend because the nights are long in November. Cheers and have fun.

Oh, yeah, and if 5.6 is fun for you- add Super Slab to your list. It's great as well.

If you like the line at the DMV I highly recommend this one on a nice Sat.

Thanks for the routes.

Brewery is a must. Perhaps a small keg for the week too.......

[matt_warfield]

Yeah, good point about the crowds. Hit Super Slab during the week and save the less popular routes (i.e. long approach or harder) for the weekend.

Correction: I said ten days, but after checking my calendar its more like six.
