Sport climbing

Skills required

  • Sport leading
  • Multipitch belays
  • Descent route finding
  • Rappelling

Key hazards to assess

  • Loose rock
  • Exposed climbing
  • Complex descent
  • Seasonal closures

Quested experience levels describe the intended skill progression, not objective safety. An approachable classification is not a guarantee of safety. Climbing requires appropriate protection and descent competence; ski tours require independent avalanche decisions, winter navigation and competent downhill skiing.

Plan your visit

The route has reports of loose rock and a more complex descent than the grade suggests. Rappels are especially sensitive to rope length; consider the established walk-off after reviewing current route information. Smith Rock may impose seasonal raptor closures.
