Another nice shot

Looks fun. I drove by Smith Rock yesterday without stopping, hurrying to the Valley from Squamish. Now I'm sorry, I didn't linger...

Great shot

Voted 10/10

It looks very steep, and I don't see a bolt for protecting the overhang. What gives?

	Hasn't voted	Smith Rock is known for its high 1st bolts. I mean, ridiculously high...you should see the 1st bolt on some of the others..like Barbecue the Pope (amazing climb btw). Someone was spotting me though...er....uh, taking a photo actually. hahahahaa...I guess you just have to be sure to not fall. :)

	Voted 10/10	I hope you had a bolt to clip from that handhold, like after reaching pretty high. But, I don't know. In any case it's a great shot. BTW, You may have seen collapsable "stick-clip" poles. I have one, but used it a few times. It really helps protecting life and lims. Great set of photos. Keep on cranking. Marc

I've heard of the stick...I kind of wanted to try it on my own though. :) Thank you Marc! Amazing photos you have as well....

	Hasn't voted	My wife and I were climbing at Smith Rocks a couple of years ago - after doing "BBQ the Pope" she made me go buy (actually make) a stick clip - it was stressing her out as the belayer. We gave the stick clip to someone else the day we left for home (good kharma, I hope).
