Climbing Partner Eugene/Corvalis/Portland
|
Hi there, |
|
Hey Alex If you ever want to climb we have a small but dedicated crew that climb almost every weekend if the weather holds were down south of you bye 1 hour in Roseburg but we have lots of climbing down here |
|
That sounds awesome. I would like to go out the next time there's a chance. Thanks for throwing me the line. |
|
I live in Lebanon, and am always looking for someone to head to smith with on the weekdays. |
|
I just moved to Eugene as well, and don't have a partner. I've got plenty of free time at the moment and a decent sized rack. (nuts, hexs, tricams and a double rack medium cams) I checked out Skinner Butte Park yesterday and it looked interesting, but kinda small. anything else nearby to Eugene? |
|
Glad I saw this thread. Relatively new to the area and getting back into climbing after some injuries. I don't really know any climbers in Eugene. Will be at Crux tomorrow, Smith on Sunday, probably Crux on Monday. I work an unconventional schedule and am often available to climb during the week and about every other weekend. I'm a traddie at heart but have been known to clip bolts and boulder as well. |

That said, there's a fair bit of exposed rock up towards Oakridge. That said, the southern Willamette Valley is pretty much a dead end for rock climbing. You'll encounter stuff similar to Iron Mountain (near Portland), but that makes the Columns seem huge. There's a lot of alpine stuff within 2 hours of Eugene, including some ice that forms up a little bit upstream of Salt Creek Falls in the Diamond Creek drainage. If you see more than 7 days of daytime highs belows freezing at the Salt Creek Falls Snotel, its almost certainly in. Its about 130' of WI2-3. |

Has anyone climbed at hills creek spires? How do you approach the crags ?from the top? Thanks |
|
I'll be checking on Hills Creek Spires this weekend so hopefully I remember this post and can put in my two cents. I was told it can be loose in areas, but since there was a decent number of routes put up, I suspect it's not that bad. |
|
I live in Eugene and am looking for climbing partners for local stuff (columns/flagstone/callahans/acker/etc.) and trips over to Smith. Please let me know if you need a partner. |
|
I no longer live in the area, but there is a new crag that has been being developed, and is worth going to if you live in Eugene. |
|
Anyone who's either keen on Moolack or FAs on the local rocks should contact me ASAP. |
|
Sunday's looking ideal! |

Just came across this forum. I am moving to Eugene in May and am looking for climbing partners. I currently live in Salt Lake City and lead 5.10s, low 5.11 sport. No trad experience yet but hope to learn. I have a small SUV that gets good mileage and will be more than willing to drive to crags around Oregon, including Smith rock. Please reach out.
