After a one-year hiatus, the American Alpine Club’s Annual Smith Rock Craggin’ Classic is back with their 3-day “celebration of the Pacific Northwest’s climbing and climbers” the weekend of October 1-3. With a full line-up of clinics taught by professional climbers and local guides from Chockstone Climbing Guides, plus presentations by EDELRID athlete Tommy Caldwell and Yosemite young buck Jordan Cannon, it’s just a short walk from on-site camping and down into the park. And if you’re dying to hear all about the climbing history at Smith Rock from the guy who had just a bit to do with it, join our own Alan Watts on his Smith Climbing History Walking Tour on Saturday morning.
