Central Oregon is mostly flat. It's nice to have the sun not covered by mountains. Here we visited a graveyard close the highway.

Evening atmosphere.

Cruising south on the roads to the next climbing destination. SMITH ROCK!

The lower gorge in smith rock. A perfect place to climb trad on basalt and escape from the crowded main walls. There we met local climbers who invited us to climb with them in Trout Creek on the weekend. 

And that's Trout Creek. Basalt columns build the perfect place to test your crack climbing skills. Catelin climbs the beautiful 25m long stemming box called "Space between". A decent calf pump is guaranteed.

Folks hanging out at Trout Creek.

A climber in the perfect hand crack "Gold Rush" during the last daylight. Rack up with golden nr.2 camalots. That's where the name comes from.
