During a recent trip to Portland, Oregon, I got the chance to swing down to Smith Rock Park for a quick camp and a climb. Two things I learned: 1) Outdoor climbing is quite fun 2) The Oregon desert in late July is very hot. Most of the professional climbers stay clear of the area this time of year due to the intense heat, but I got around to snapping a few shots just the same. I should like to make another trip down in the fall for some climbing shoots.
