Smith Rock Climbing School was founded in 1983 and originally operated right across the street from the world famous Smith Rock State Park.
Come and join one of our trained professional guides for a day of rock climbing. Whether you’re a first-timer, fresh out the climbing gym, or an experienced climber looking to push your limits we can provide a great day of climbing.
With our private guiding service, we can custom tailor a rock climbing trip to fit you and your needs.
Smith Rock State Park has climbs for every level of interest. From introductory top-rope climbs rated 5.6 all the way to 8-pitch routes and traditional crack climbs. We guide all of the classic single and multi-pitch routes and we know how to get away from the crowds, find the shady or sunny spots and get more climbing time on the rock than walking and waiting.
Climbed by our clients per year
Our guides earn rock-specific accreditation through the American Mountain Guides Association.
