发帖数: 39815 | 2 two popular ones: portland rock gym and clubsport.
both are good.
PRG has more variations, slab, vertical, overhang, everyting, while you don'
t find slab in clubsport.
I would suggest you to try both, see which one you like.

they went. they didn't quite traverse the whole 2nd pitch and was looking at
a different route. they went on the route thinking it's the 3rd pitch of

发帖数: 39815 | 34 This is almost what I guessed. Well, even if they didn't go off route, it is
still hard to find walk off location.
Also, I think the guide book is somewhat stupid on this section: you climb a
5.6 route, but you have to down climb a short 5.7 to walk off...WTH...

发帖数: 824 | 35 Turns out Mazama Rocks is also a good place.
Short approach (300m from parking lot to "fun rock" area, "By comparison,
exit 38 approach is like an alpine climb", rotatezh's parter's word)
We did 6 sports routes in half day Monday at fun rock.
Good rock quality and variaties
Quite few long multi-pitches, rotatezh did a 10 pitch on Sunday
Nearby town Withrop also has nice mountain bike routes, bc ski, horseback
riding, and good restaurant
3 hours of driving totally worth a plan B for rain out week

发帖数: 13580 | 44 We almost lost a rope in Smith. Long story but here it is: we were climbing
Moscow which is a walk off. Grace didn't want to carry her own shoes so she
clipped them to Jack's harness. Somehow one of them unclipped and fell from
the belay station of the first pitch. So after they walked off they set to
look for the shoe and couldn't find it. So they suspected it was on a ledge
on the route. They redid the first pitch and found it. They rapped down from
Moscow to the chains of Peking for the next
