They carry the hard to find all leather full finger rappelling gloves made by Metolius, an Oregon-based company. I called several stores in and around Bend. Only this store had them in stock that day. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff: During my visits they thoroughly answered my questions and gave recommendations. Please give a raise to both Lee and Kyle and promote them :) GREAT cold brew and other brews, great caffeine source for long road trips. Lots of parking. If you're looking for quality climbing gear, I highly recommend this place.

I said yes, I would like a bag of coffee beans, she looked perplexed and turned away and said to the guy she needs coffee beans. He was still finishing making drinks so she charged my credit card and he finally goes to the back to get the beans comes but then back out and informs me they are out of bags for beans and offered to put in a cup. I was blown away. I was not even offered a free coffee for wasting all of my time. Sorry but I will not be going back. I would have never had a customer stand there that long and after not being able to help them not even offer them a free coffee. Just wow!

I only knock a star off because they reset their walls a little weird, doing a small section of a few walls each week and they don't date their routes, so it's kind of hard to know what's new sometimes. They have a semi confusing chart outside the bathrooms showing what has been reset, what's next, etc., but it isn't always maintained. All that said, love this gym!

Located in Smith Rock State Park, this contains a couple super-classic lines:…read more Chouinard's Crack: yes, THAT Chouinard! Test-piece 5.9 trad crack. Super Slab: a sporty, sexy, multi-pitch trad climb. Pitch 2 is contrived and terrible though. Moscow: a un-sexy, blue-collar, no-bolted-anchors, 5.6 trad climb. Crux is an off-width at the top (bring a #4 or you'll be sorry!). I've probably climbed Moscow more times than any other trad route. Most people prefer Super Slab though, you've been warned!
