    The views at Smith Rock never get old.

    I felt such a huge surge of accomplishment standing on the top of Monkey Face knowing that I was seeing a view that only a select group of people would get to see! Photo by Annie Ralston.

    My first multi-pitch route was up Voyage of the Cowdog in which I got to lead the last pitch! Climber partner, Annie is the last up!

    Pure excitement at the top of Monkey Face! This was a goal I had set out to accomplish, and the feeling of completing it was so fulfilling! Photo by Annie Ralston.

    The best part of going up is coming down! Climbing partner, Annie Ralston rapelling down Monkey Face.

    Mount Hood casting it’s shadow out toward Portland during a welcome sunrise on my first mountain summit!

    Catching a second wave of energy, as the light of sunrise provides for a slight rise in temperature, and the ability to see where you are and how far you’ve come. The views aren’t half bad either. Photo by Collin Burk.

    102-degree heat, middle of summer, fully exposed... but worth the misery to see this place in person. The size and scale of Horseshoe Bend is awesome.
