Spiderman Buttress

Featured Route: Spiderman (5.7)

 

Spiderman is real, and he lives at Smith Rock!  His 'Spiderman', Smith Rock Climbing Guides, Smith Rock State Park, Oregonnamesake buttress is an exciting and challenging route for the grade, combining technical slabs at the base with airy corners and exposed roofs up high.  The three pitch route relies on numerous climbing techniques such as smearing, jamming, lie-backing, and Smith "nubbin" pulling.  While resting at the belays, you get an unobstructed view of the Cascade Mountains and half the state of Oregon.  This is a beautiful climb and an excellent choice for a bold beginner or any classic collector.
