Rock Climbers Delight
Crooked River flows downstream under one of America's most popular climber's challenges: Smith Rock's Monkey Face. When viewed from the south, the top of the pillar resembles the face of a Monkey complete with a mouth, nose, and eyes.
This 350 foot spire is considered a seriously dangerous climb. Monkey Face has one of the toughest free routes in the world, Just Do It (5.14c) located on the bulging east face. Those small specks on MF are some folks who successfully made it to the top.
Glad I'm just a photographer shooting from the base..but it is fascinating watching people climb the cliff's all around Smith Rock.
Enjoy a wonderful Wednesday!
