Summary

Shirley starting up the third (best!) pitch of Lost In Space (5.10b) route on the Smith Rock Group (Apr. 2010).
This new (2 year old?) line is one of 4 or so new additions that penetrate the virgin face between White Satin and Black Velcro on the northeast face of the Smith Rock Group. It is clear that the route developers went through quite a bit of effort to ensure that it’s smartly bolted and well cleaned (except final pitch which will only clean up after a few hundred ascents?? If ever…). This makes for a very enjoyable outing!
Shirley & I climbed this on a beautiful April day in 2010, swapping leads.
