At the Smith Rock Climbing School, we believe the strength of our organization lies in the hands of our friendly and talented guides who all share a common passion for climbing and skiing. Our school is an official accredited program of the American Mountain Guides Association.
Smith Rock Climbing School’s guides have received professional training through the American Mountain Guides Association, and all have wilderness-based medical training. To be a professional guide, one must be committed to their own learning process – as well as their clients – through specialized training and personal experience. It is this dedication to professional training and raising the bar for mountain guiding standards in America that sets us apart from other guide services. Read more

I have climbed twice with them at Smith Rock, and both times have been outstanding. Cliff is a great guide and a blast to spend a day with. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to climb out there, or on Hood.

Lucas was an amazing guide and we learned a ton. It was our first outdoor climb and very different than the gym. Lucas gave us lots of good tips and sometimes no beta when asked. ; )

We did a family climbing trip to Smith Rock State Park with this outfit and had a fantastic time. Aaron was our guide and was incredibly patient, encouraging, and skilled with us and our three kids ages 12, 10, & 8. All the equipment was provided and we felt very safe. It was a very positive experience for us and we enjoyed a great day at the crags. Don't miss a chance to climb this spectacular park. Well worth it !
