Expedition training at Smith Rocks

August 30, 2018

We just received a report from IMG lead guide Jonathan Schrock, training with two participants on the upcoming Carstensz Pyramid expedition. Following is his report:

“Carstensz Pyramid Prep day 3. Weather is clear and sunny but smoke is blowing back in. We’ve had a good few days of training with one day left. We’ll spend it climbing one of the classic Smith multi-pitch moderates. Today was Carstensz fixed line climbing clinic day. Ascender usage on steep terrain, anchor transitions, descent/rappelling skills, etc.”  – Jonathan Schrock

The climbing at Smith is great right now, and peak season is just about to commence. September through November is a great time to climb, after the hottest part of the summer is over and the days remain clear, sunny and perfect for rock climbing instruction. Come join us!
