Does anyone know of any good traverse style bouldering problems at Smith Rock? I want to go boulder alone, however I don't want to hurt myself with no one around...

There are good ones in the Dihedrals and Christian Brothers. Just look for the chalk.

Also the rainy day traverse on the picnic lunch wall, far left side under a low roof

Slack Face is a good one. it follows the center of shipwreck wall about 150 feet or so. very perplexing start but eases a little as you get farther.

I've never been there, but there's supposed to be a 200' (?) traverse w/perfect landings near the Upper Gorge. I hear it's a good endurance builder.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
