jkrueger Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Sun? It was so foggy we couldn't even see Monkey Face until we were an arm's length from it; and then it started raining! Tex was, as usual, unphased and got us through in true Oregon hardman style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuMR Posted January 13, 2003 Author Share Posted January 13, 2003 No credit if it was a hard line...hard lines are steep enough at smith they don't get wet... HA HA HA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrueger Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Credit is due then, as it was the West Face Variation (5.9R). The only dry pitches were the bolt ladder and the first pitch that I led. Once it started raining, we handed the rack over to Tex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 As for spouses, Monkey Face Ruined Everything for me..... About 6 or so years ago when I was a newlywed I was trying to get my significant other into climbing. I took her for the first time on a beautiful sunny day to smith rocks. I figured something over near Monkey Face would be the ticket. As we neared, we saw a recovery in process. We saw what was a body being taken out. Since then, my wife refuses to ever consider any thing associated with climbing. How unlucky was that for me? It's been the only fatality I've ever seen at a sport crag in 15 years of climbing. The whole drive home, I've tried to convice her i t was a one time occurance, and that sport climbing is a safe activity. She has three life insurance policies out on me now.
