Ok, so since leaving Canada 4 days ago, I have proceeded to blow up another tire just across the boarder, bruise my hip and tailbone at one of the nations most classic skateparks (Happy 20th birthday to Burnside, in Portland, Oregon), and get the shit scared out of me on one of the many phenomenal routes that Smith Rock, Oregon has to offer! Lesson leaned, make sure you know how many bolts there are on the climb before going, otherwise you'll have to do what I did today and just keep cruising past the last few bolts, pulling about a 20 foot run-out, which would lead to an incredible whipper, had I actually fallen before reaching the chains. More shot's and stories from Smith Rock to come. Hopefully we'll find some other people to climb with so I can actually get some climbing shots...
