The Nomads will spend the weekend climbing, hiking (up to 4 miles), and camping in/near Smith Rock State Park in central Oregon!

We will head down on Friday and camp at Skull Hollow campground (7.5 miles from Smith Rock), spend all day Saturday rock climbing (expect to hike up to 45 minutes to climbing routes), and hike on Sunday morning (up to 5 miles) on before heading back to Seattle. May be able to have a pod climb Sunday morning if preferred but will be determined after roster finalized based on group interest.

Guests: If spots are still available two weeks prior to the trip, email trip leader to request that a friend or sibling be able to join.
