OVERVIEW
Smith Rock is one of the United States’ premier rock climbing destinations and is regarded as the birthplace of modern sport climbing. Located in the sunny desert of eastern Oregon in sight of the glaciated volcanoes of the Cascades, Smith’s pinnacles and towering buttresses offer a fantastic variety of climbing objectives, ranging from short, fun, pocketed face climbs perfect for first-time climbers, to famous crack routes, long multipitch objectives, and some of the hardest test pieces in the country.
Thousands of climbers from around the world make the pilgrimage to Smith Rock every year. Why not count yourself among them? Whether you’re just starting to climb, pursuing your dream route, or aiming to test your skills on harder objectives, Smith Rock is the perfect venue for an amazing time!
Rock Climbing at Smith Rock • 3 Days
Our 3 Day Intro to Sport Climbing Course at Smith Rock is perfect for those who are new to climbing or are starting to climb outside after honing their skills in the gym. We will introduce you to essential movement and technical skills you need to safely climb sport routes outside. In “sport climbing,” climbers protect themselves by clipping their ropes to metal bolts already placed in the rock. It is the most accessible form of outdoor climbing, and it is many climbers’ entry into the vast world of rock climbing. Over the course of 3 days, we will have ample time for pure rock climbing, as well.
The course may also be extended for up to two additional days. Our guides will adapt the itinerary to your individual goals and interests, whether you are primarily interested in climbing some fantastic routes, want to refine your technique to climb harder grades, or if you’re focused on developing your ropework, anchor building, and leading skills to climb safely and independently outside in the future.
Please contact us to discuss your goals and which itinerary is right for you.

The team meets at the entrance to Smith Rock State Park for an orientation and introductions. We take a short walk to an easily accessible area such as Morning Glory Wall or the Dihedrals to go over important skills and start climbing. Today’s instruction will include: climbing movement, harnesses, knots, belaying, lowering and basic climbing communication. After lunch, we devote the afternoon to a slightly longer route such as Round River, which takes us three rope lengths, or “pitches” off the ground, ending with exhilarating views of Smith Rock and the surrounding landscape.
Northwest Alpine Guides will provide you with a detailed PreClimb departure book upon registration including personal gear list, meeting location and driving directions.

Day 2 • Climbing • Skills Instruction • Multipitch
We start the day off with more climbing on shorter routes near the ground. We refresh skills learned on Day 1 and then introduce new topics, including basic sport anchors. This morning is an excellent opportunity to test the edge of our abilities and comfort level by attempting a slightly harder route. In the afternoon, we embark on a multipitch climbing adventure to the highest point at Smith Rocks where we enjoy breathtaking views across Central Oregon.

Day 3 • Climbing • Skills Instruction
Today we focus on climbing, and solidifying the skills we have practiced during the previous two days of the course.

While we firm up these critical skills, we will climb a variety of fun, routes.

Some examples of snack foods include dried meats (salami), jerky (turkey, beef, fish), tuna fish, cheese, crackers, bagels, dried fruit, nuts, chocolate, candy bars, gummy candy, cookies, energy bars and trail mix. (about 150-200 calories each break)
We cannot overstate how critical it is for you to bring foods that you enjoy eating. Eating properly is the key to maintaining strength in the mountains. We recommend a selection of sweet, sour and salty food.
When preparing lunches, please do not bring food items that require cooking or extensive preparation.
TRAVEL
Getting There
At 8:00 am, the morning of the climb, we meet at the Smith Rock State Park Welcome Center in the parking lot at the entrance of Smith Rock State Park in Terrebonne, OR, for an equipment check and orientation before making the short walk to the crags. We will email you PreClimb info including gear list and departure details upon registration.
Smith Rock State Park is in central eastern Oregon on the outskirts of the small ranching town of Terrebonne. It is approximately 20 minutes from Redmond Municipal Airport in nearby Redmond, OR. It is 3 hours from Portland, OR, and 6 hours from Seattle, WA.
Limited services are available in Terrebonne. More extensive food, shopping and lodging options may be found nearby in the cities of Bend and Redmond.
Smith Rock State Park
Terrebonne, OR 97760
Please arrive at the trailhead with all required personal climbing gear and snack lunch food for the day. We rent and sell a selection of climbing equipment, including harnesses, climbing shoes, helmets, chalk bags, belay devices, cord and carabiners, but reservations and purchases must be made before one week prior to the first day of the trip.
Flight Travel
Most climbers arriving from outside of the Pacific Northwest will fly into Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) or Portland International Airport (PDX) the evening before the program and rent a car to drive to Smith Rock. The drive from RDM is 20 minutes. PDX is much farther away at 3 hours.
Our Northwest programs begin at the date, time and meeting location listed in the itinerary in your PreClimb Information. Meeting locations may vary depending on program destination. Climbers flying to Oregon must arrive the day before their program begins in order the meet the group for an early morning gear check and orientation. We will return to the trailhead by early evening on the final day of the program but exact return times are difficult to predict. We strongly recommend that climbers flying out of Portland book a hotel night following the final day of their itinerary and schedule departure flights on the following day. If departing from Redmond on the last day of the program, we recommend booking a flight later than 9 p.m.
Transportation
Transportation to the meeting location at Smith Rock State Park is not included in the price of the trip. Guides are not responsible for providing transportation to team members. We serve both local and out-of-town climbers in our Northwest programs, and many of our guests prefer to use their own vehicles. Team members are free to organize rideshares with other team members. With your permission, our office staff can share your name and contact information with other team members so that you can organize ridesharing. The NWAG office does not coordinate ridesharing or carpooling.
Trailhead Parking
You will need to purchase parking from the self-serve kiosks in the large parking lots at the Smith Rock State Park trailhead. Single-use passes are $5.00 per day. For trips longer than 5 days, it is worth it to purchase an Oregon State Parks Pass for $30. If you plan to camp in the Smith Rocks “bivy” site near the park, your camping fees include parking.

FITNESS
Physical fitness is the foundation of every mountain adventure. A strong cardiovascular system, endurance, core strength, flexibility and balance let us safely enjoy the spectacular terrain and close camaraderie we find in the planet’s highest places.
Rock climbing imposes unique demands on our bodies. Hand and arm strength are important, but our feet usually bear most of our weight. Good footwork is essential. To move lightly and gracefully on the rock, you should develop a base of general fitness, balance and agility. Aerobic sports such as running, cycling and swimming will keep you trim, while activities like yoga can improve your core strength and flexibility. For a climbing-specific workout, it’s hard to beat an indoor climbing gym. Lifting weights can be useful, too, but pure muscular bulk is heavy and not helpful. Instead, focus on your core, and exercises such as pull-ups that are directly applicable to rock climbing.
Your physical fitness contributes to your safety in the mountains, and the safety of your partners. By moving gracefully and efficiently, you minimize the risk of slips, bumps and bruises while maximizing your enjoyment. You must be able to maintain the pace set by our guides while maintaining reserves of strength. Moving more slowly can be dangerous. As the climbing day lengthens, we become fatigued and dehydrated. We lose precious daylight hours and we expose ourselves to quickly shifting mountain conditions and weather.
Training Resources:
Please read our Goals & Fitness guide for strategies to help you train for your climb.
Many climbers, particularly those who are new to the sport, will benefit from a workout plan designed to prepare you for the rigors of mountaineering. We recommend the following training resources:
