Exploring Smith Rock State Park
July 24, 2010
Hiking up "Misery Ridge" trail. Yep, that's its name.
It's not that long of a hike, but you gain just under 1,000 feet in elevation.
Brutal, but pretty views pay off.
Monkey Face. Three people in our group climbed it.
Apparently it's a relatively easy climb (5.7),
just a little intimidating because it's a 350-foot spire.
But for me, just making it up Misery Ridge without
fainting was enough of an accomplishment.
More shots of Monkey Face.
The below one is the angle where you can actually see the head of a monkey.
When you zoom in, you can see my three friends around the monkey's neck.
