Monkey Face




On a recent weekend, Jonathan (the middle climber with the bare feet!) and a buddy climbed Monkey Face at Smith Rocks in central Oregon. At this particular moment they are about 200 feet straight up approaching the "mouth of the monkey". The first photo has a red circle to indicate the location of the second photo. (I only can look at pictures after a safe return. I could never be there to watch!!!)

Smith Rocks is close to where Mark and Susan now live.

There's a better view of the Monkey at:

If you look closely, you can see climbers on the face (through the gap) in almost exactly the same positions as Jonathan and his climbing partner. Needless to say, it's a nice view from up there...
