climbing near North Bend, OR?

[cstorms]

I'll be heading out to North Bend, OR on the coast in a couple of months. Are there any climbing areas nearby? I would appreciate any information on bouldering or sport. Thanks for any help

North Bend, on the coast. Not Bend.

 

Don't know of anything over thataway.

my bad........at least I got the state right.

yea I'm far from Smith... I don't know anything about climbing in Oregon and was told this site would be my best bet. Any info about climbing that is closer than Smith would be nice, I'm sure there is something closer than 4 hours away

Pick up Greg Orton's Rock Climbing Western Oregon: Rouge edition. Its got some stuff on the coast a little bit south of you, that should keep you busy for a little while

Other wise, there's a fair amount coastal rock so just go explore, I flew over some fun looking stuff near Bandon after taking off from North Bend...

I think a guy named Leonard??? lived in the Coos Bay/North Bend area about 10-15 years ago. He was climbing 5.13s at Smith. I heard he put up some routes in the coastal area. I think he moved to colorado some years ago.

 

I have no beta for you, but if you hike around you might find some developed areas.

The beach from the South Jetty in Bandon down to Devil's Kitchen (State Park) is littered with all kinds of fun to climb seastacks with easy access. Some have established routes, some are vertical peanut brittle, almost all of them are fun either way.
