Smith Rock legend Jeff Thomas in front of two route he did the FFA of; Wartley’s Revenge (5.11a) and Shoes Of The Fisherman (5.11b). If you’re looking to do some classic Smith trad lines both of these are excellent options. And when you get pumped out just remember that Jeff did these in the early 70’s with no cams or chalk 😅

If you’re going to spend time at then we suggest investing in a proper stick clip. 12’ will get you covered for just about every first bolt.

**Upcoming Route Closures**
Heads up to all Smith locals and weekend warriors! On November 16th our crew is going to be rebolting up in Shipwreck gulley. Tsunami, Fish & Chips, Stoney Surfer, and Slab Happy will all be closed for the day. We apologize for the inconvenience but it’ll be worth it for fresh hardware on these excellent routes 😎

Yesterday we had a great re-bolting clinic 🔧🔩
Participants got to learn what re-bolting is, why it’s important, how different climbing bolts work, and even got to get their hands dirty by installing and removing different types of climbing bolts. If this sounds interesting to you, stay tuned for volunteer opportunities and other ways that you can be involved with the HDCA.
Big thanks to for hosting us!
