Smith Rock: Oregon's rock climber's paradise
By KATU Web StaffNEAR REDMOND, Ore. - Central Oregon's famous outdoor rock climbing playground and state park offers challenges for climbers of all abilities - from beginner to expert. "Smith Rock is great because it's got some world-class sport climbing," said climber Sam Morrison, an intermediate-level climber. For beginners who perhaps have only tried rock climbing at an indoor facility, Smith Rock offers a test of one's abilities. "It's kind of hard just because I've done indoor climbing and not outdoor climbing," said Max Morrison. "Outdoor climbing is a lot different because there aren't as many easy holds to grab onto and you actually have to plan out your route and stuff."
