Smith Craggin' Classic 2021 Carpooling Forum

The Smith Craggin' Classic event is back October 1st-3rd and it's IN-PERSON! We're so excited to see everyone again and we're prepping to have an incredible event for you. Event registration opens Tuesday, August 17th so be sure to get your tickets and get signed up for a clinic while spots are available. Check the link below for details!

Parking is $5 and we have limited spaces so we STRONGLY encourage you to carpool. Not only will it save everyone money, save room in our parking area but it's better for our environment. With that said, this is just the place to connect with our climbing community to set up carpools. Heck, maybe you'll meet someone cool and have a new climbing friend for life. Here are some details to include in your post if your asking for or offering a ride. 

If you are OFFERING a ride (be sure you've purchased a $5 parking pass at registration or plan to purchase it on-sight at check-in on Friday, Oct.1)

• What town/city you are departing from
• How many passengers you can carry (remember, everyone is going to have climbing & camping gear with them!) 
• What time/date you hope to depart
• Note whether you are requesting to split gas and parking fee
• What time/date you are planning on leaving the event

If you are REQUESTING a ride

• What town/city you need picked up from
• What time/day you're hoping to depart
• What method you're able pitch in for gas/parking fee (cash, venmo, paypal, etc.)
• How many packs/bags you'll be brining (helps driver know how much space they'll need in their car for gear)
• What time/date you'd like to leave event 

You can exchange contact info and address in private messages.

Jessica Mason- Event Coordinator

Hi all, 

Jessica here. I'm looking to find a ride for one of our sponsors. Tuesdays for Trash is sponsoring our Sunday cleanup but their rep is without transportation. Let me know if anyone is coming down Saturday. I think it'd be 1 person coming from Portland. 

What is this thing?

I have a parking pass and will be driving from Seattle on either Thursday or Friday, returning probably Sunday evening (the "probably" is based on potentially climbing before/after the festival). I have space for four passengers (have a Thule box for gear but y'all would need to pack alpine style -- e.g. one backpack per person, otherwise can only take 3 people). Please contact me if you'd like a ride. Would like to share expenses (gas + parking).

@Daniel Rider, This is a rock climbing festival in Terrebonne, Oregon at Smith Rock State Park. https://americanalpineclub.org/smith-rock-cc check out the link for more info! 

Anybody has an extra ticket they won't use? I'd like to buy and go!

Looking to buy two extra tickets!

Seeking a carpool ride! I already have my ticket for the event :) 

• What town/city you need picked up from - Portland, right next to OHSU at the children's hospital
• What time/day you're hoping to depart - Friday afternoon/evening
• What method you're able pitch in for gas/parking fee (cash, venmo, paypal, etc.) - Cash or venmo
• How many packs/bags you'll be brining (helps driver know how much space they'll need in their car for gear) - One 38L pack 
• What time/date you'd like to leave event - Sunday anytime to be home before Monday morning

Just looking to buy 1 ticket if anyone has one up for grabs! Much appreciated

I'm local in Bend and looking to snag two or three tix if someone has a few to let go of.

Hey all, looking for one extra ticket for my belay partner if anyone has one! 

I had a dear friend pass away and will not be able to attend the Craggin Classic this weekend. I have two tickets if anybody needs them. 

Update- tickets sold

Danielle,

I'll take the two tix

Looking for a last minute ticket 

If anyone has a last minute parking pass to sell I would be very interested! 

I have a ticket, parking pass, and rock rescue clinic 

Never been to smith or any cragging classic; is it even possible to go climb at smith this weekend without a ticket?

Heard parking is a bitch even without a large event.

Smith is a shit show on weekends, parking and otherwise, imo. The entire I 5 corridor shows up, and not just climbers. It is a pretty popular state park, after all. I was there the first weekend in October a few years ago....as were the Mazamas with a big group, literally busloads of tourists, and....a largish wedding going on. All outside, in that not so big area.

Good luck! H.
