Excellent Routefirst climb at Smith Rock and definitely one to return to. I led the first pitch and seconded the others, which was good because they were right at the edge of my ability arm-strength wise (read: very pumpy).

fun, i guessyeah it was alright i guess. a good climb to warm up on and such. pretty easy for a 5.10, really only a move or two lower down. if you're looking for a fun 5.9 with exposure, i found white satin's top pitch to be better but the approach pitches are choss and pigeon poo purgatory.

A Smith FavoriteI've done this line several times now and it will always be one of my favorites at Smith. Excelent rock and great climbing on such an asthetic line.

Fun on Zebra-ZionReally fun route. It is getting hot in Smith now, but early morning is good (we started at 7am and summited at 11:30am and the heat wasn't unbearable until we got back down to our packs).
