Monkey Face Pinnacle, Smith Rock

Good forOutdoor lovers

The 350-foot spire rising from Smith Rock State Park earns its name from above — the eroded summit reads, unmistakably, as a primate face. Climbers have been working out what to do about that for decades. Routes here run from the accessible to the genuinely punishing; *Just Do It*, rated 5.14c, sits among the hardest free climbs in the world.
