The Monkey Face

The famed Monkey Face. Not the best angle to see the face, but hey, I'm not a professional.

Pitch 1 selfie.

Pitch 2 bolt ladder. My first aid climb. I have to admit, I prefer free climbing over aid climbing for sure.

Top of pitch 2, in the monkey's mouth. Lots of hikers across the way watching.

The top! Looks like I'm judging Logan a little bit... Or maybe I'm just awkward in front of cameras.

Nice view.
Logan and I spent a few days camping and climbing at Smith Rock. Got on a lot of cool climbs; hard sport, moderate trad cracks, and the famous 3-pitch Monkey Face [5.7 A0]. I'm psyched that this was my first ever aid climb. Although I didn't really enjoy the second pitch bolt ladder, it was a valuable and fun experience.
