Top of the Monkey Face, Smith Rock, Oregon. America's first 5.14c is right below me (too bad I didn't get up that way!). We went up the Pioneer Route- great climb! 3 September, 2005

Dirk, you look as though you're leaping back from the flash. Sounds like a fun outing if I ever get a taste for aid climbing.

Re: shocked

That's me leaping back from all of the 0-star votes! Maybe the site should be changed to "mountainnotsummitpost.org" or something.



Anyway, it's quite an enjoyable climb, with a sweet view from the top!

Re: shocked

It seems that zero-voting on summit mug shots is a new trend on SP. Get a grip, ppl. Storage is much cheaper than you think it is, not to mention that this site generates money to pay for its bills. I for one enjoy to see people on summits.



Good work, Dirk! I got to climb this one someday

Re: shocked

Ditto on Misha's comments on summit shots.



Pano's and beta shots alone make for some boring viewing.

Re: shocked

BTW, nice shot Dirk. I have yet to do this rap in the dark - must be cool!

Re: shocked

Thanks, Misha & Radek. Guess everyone's entitled to their opinion. Rap'ing in the dark is a trip! If I go there again (to do the extra 2-pitch 5.7/8 variation), will have to try the Tyrolean traverse, though!



Hey Misha, a bit late, but interested in the Black Kaweah this weekend from Mineral King? Want to leave tonight after work.

Re: shocked

Hey Dirk,

I just saw this. Needless to say, it is a very late notice :)

Despite me really wanting to climb Black Kaweah, I'd have to do it sometime next year. Have a blast over there and be safe!

Hey Dirk -nice shot. When are you gonna put my summit shot on Monkey Face on SP?! lol BTW, R U gonna write that TR? I'll get my SP photos of Monkey Face & N Sister up this weekend and burn a CD of all the pics for ya. I hope you were successful in the Kaweahs! I would have joined you if I could!
