Smith Rock

Heading to Smith Rock next week for a badly needed holiday. Can anyone recommend some ultra classic 5.11s to get on?

Toxic 5.11c

Toxic 5.11c in the Agro Gully (when you go up into the Gully.... walk past all the hard routes on the right and up onto the ledge, Toxic starts on the ledge up left). Ultra Classic.

Get's sun in the morning so if it's cold do it then.

i think he is referring to the first section. and if not, then only .12b would feel like an .11- to the Dru Almighty.

Thanks to all of you who have made some great recommendations. Unfortunately, I have been told by my better half that due to uncertainty in the weather forecast we are no longer going to Smith. We are instead heading farther south to Bishop, to where the sun is shining and is supposed to keep on shining.

Good luck to those who brave Smith in the coming days :)

The weather worked out pretty well although it was pretty cold at night. We explored around the East Gorge basalt columns on Sunday. It went from hot to cold instantly as the clouds and winds rolled through but I hardly noticed while climbing, only on belay.

Hope Bishop treated you well.

well, looks like the weather is a bit chilly in Smith. so we'll be flying down to red rocks for a week to enjoy nice 27 deg temps.
