Smith Rock Climb & Camp Weekend

SIGN UP

The Details

CLIMBING AT SMITH ROCK STATE PARK

Guided climbing and instruction are available for climbers of all skill levels, from first-time beginners to intermediate and advanced climbers. All of our guides are trained through either the AMGA or PCGI and are experts at finding the right climbs for you. In order to make sure everyone gets exactly what they need, we’ll focus on Intro instruction designed for those who have never climbed before, Intermediate instruction for climbers wanting to climb in the 5.5-5.9 range (best for those who have some experience, but perhaps have never climbed outside), and Advanced for climbers wanting to join our guides on more difficult routes.


Our Camp & Climb in May will be slightly different, with only one guide working the event and 5 participants. While we will still work to meet the needs of every participant in the group, we will not be splitting into groups (we can't split one person). So I would say this specific event is for those who are just excited to be outside and climb whatever.

CAMPING AT SMITH ROCK STATE PARK

We will be camping at the bivy at Smith Rock State Park. This campsite is a walk in only, first come first serve campsite. In the event that there is no space to park your ca at the bivy, we will set up camp and shuttle your car to the guide house about 10 minutes from the park.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW MANY PARTICIPANTS COME BY THEMSELVES?

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WOMEN WHO ATTEND?

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WOMEN WHO ATTEND?

The majority of women come to our retreats alone - somewhere around 90%.  If you are hesitating to join because you would be coming solo, please know that we expect a majority of our participants to be joining by themselves, seeking community. 

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WOMEN WHO ATTEND?

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WOMEN WHO ATTEND?

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WOMEN WHO ATTEND?

We generally have a wide range of ages at our retreats. The average tends to fall anywhere between the ages of 28 to 45. But we have had quite a few women in their 60's join as well. It really is up to the attitude and physical ability of the participant.

I'VE NEVER CLIMBED BEFORE. CAN I STILL ATTEND?

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WOMEN WHO ATTEND?

I'VE NEVER CLIMBED BEFORE. CAN I STILL ATTEND?

ABSOLUTELY. We will have at least 4 instructors at the retreat so that we can accommodate a wide range of abilities. In fact, teaching people the basics of rock climbing is what we do best. The entire ethos of She Moves Mountains guiding is to remember what it felt like to try climbing for the first time. It's intimidating, but we will be with you ever step of the way. 

ARE PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLE?

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?

I'VE NEVER CLIMBED BEFORE. CAN I STILL ATTEND?

We do! We require a 50% non-refundable deposit with the remaining payment required 90 days prior to the retreat. If you'd like to use this option apply the discount code DEPOSIT at checkout to make your first payment and reserve your spot

We have a very strict cancellation policy. Please review it before committing to this retreat. 

CAN I BRING MY PET?

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?

We know you love your fur babies but unfortunately, we cannot allow pets on any of our group trips or clinics. 

I'M AN ADVANCED CLIMBER. WILL I BE ABLE TO LEAD CLIMB?

I'M AN ADVANCED CLIMBER. WILL I BE ABLE TO LEAD CLIMB?

I'M AN ADVANCED CLIMBER. WILL I BE ABLE TO LEAD CLIMB?

It depends. To be permitted to lead at one of our retreats you must confirm that you have led at least ten routes outside or have taken a lead climbing class & have led a minimum of 30 climbs indoors. We will also require that you demonstrate your skills by mock leading a route without back clipping, z-clipping, or having the rope behind your ankle.


If you haven't led outside before and would like to work toward this on the retreat we can focus on these skills through a lead simulation but we will not permit new leaders to lead at our Camp & Climb. 

WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS OR THE WEATHER IS POOR?

I'M AN ADVANCED CLIMBER. WILL I BE ABLE TO LEAD CLIMB?

I'M AN ADVANCED CLIMBER. WILL I BE ABLE TO LEAD CLIMB?

All of our retreats are rain or snow or smoke or shine. We do our best to choose dates where this won't be an issue, but it's always a possibility. Even more so with the changing climate. If poor weather occurs we will propose alternative activities such as movement skills at the climbing gym, technical skills lessons such as anchor building or multi-pitch clinics, or hiking. 


If poor weather will ruin your experience we suggest that you purchase "cancel for any reason" trip protection as we will not be providing any refunds due to weather related issues. 

I AM PLUS SIZED. AM I ABLE TO CLIMB?

I'M AN ADVANCED CLIMBER. WILL I BE ABLE TO LEAD CLIMB?

I AM PLUS SIZED. AM I ABLE TO CLIMB?

We aren't experts in this area as this is not the lived experience of our current instructor team. But we want you here and we are committed to making your experience a positive one. 


If you can: 

  • Hike three miles over varied terrain while carrying a 15 lb backpack
  • Do 20 squats 
  • Have good balance 
  • And maintain a positive attitude 


CLIMBING IS FOR YOU!


Currently the most limiting factor is the ability to fit into a harness. We have harnesses that can accommodate up to a 56inch waist. We are looking into getting a fleet of fully adjustable harnesses before next season starts. 


If you want to learn more from plus sized climbers I highly recommend looking into Climb Big. Climb Big is an organization with a mission to "Make climbing more accessible for fat folx."



What is the Pay What You Can Option?

We want everyone who wants to attend one of our events to have the opportunity to come. Regardless of their financial status. We have decided to provide unlimited scholarships to our core programs to help lower the financial barrier to entry. 


We want to make the process simple and trust based. We trust that individuals will be truthful about their financial situations, and will allow this program to serve those who need it.


To qualify we ask that possible participants consider the following and identify with at least two of the following statements: 

  • I have accrued credit card debt in order to meet my basic needs.
  • I have found difficulty accessing and affording healthcare for me and/or my family members.
  • My income supports my loved ones, as well as myself and I cannot often do things for myself
  • I am unemployed or underemployed, and it is not by choice.
  • I rarely have expendable income for entertainment, travel, and/or eating out.


And you must confirm that without this scholarship you could not afford to attend. 


If a participants identifies with two or more of the above statements they are permitted to utilize one of our scholarships by applying the discount code C&C400 at checkout. 


Our office staff reserves the right to get in contact with any participant to confirm that they identify with at least two of the above statements. This code can only be applied to one Camp & Climb per year.
