Smith Rock, about 30 minutes outside of Bend, Oregon, is a destination that should be on every sport climber's list of places to visit. It’s the birthplace of American sport climbing and home of the first 5.14 in the country, To Bolt or Not To Be. Beside that, our guest on this What When How to Train episode, local Justin Brown, claims that it’s the best example of this technical, old school style in THE WORLD.
That’s a big claim, but Justin, owner of Rhino Skin Solutions, stands by it. Littered with small edges, pockets, and horrible feet, most routes at Smith provide options for all sizes of climber to find their way through the devious technical sequences.
Find Justin, and all the skin care products a climber could need, at Rhino Skin Solutions.
