The footbridge will be closed for replacement from August 14 - September 23, 2023
The old bridge was built nearly 50 years ago and reconstructed about 30 years ago. The new bridge will measure 8 feet wide, about 2 feet wider than the current bridge, and better accommodate visitors and first responders during the park’s frequent rescue operations. There will be no temporary bridge, and Oregon Parks and Recreation Department discourages wading across the river due to sensitive habitat and safety concerns.
Trails that will stay open include:
Rim Rock Trail
Homestead Trail
Rope-de-Dope Trail
Canyon Trail
North Point loop
Climbing areas accessible during construction include:
North Point area (accessible from the Homestead and North Point loop trails)
Rope-de-Dope boulder (accessible from the Rope-de-Dope trail and Canyon Trail)
The Lower Gorge (Climber Access routes)
There are many seasonal raptor closures with varying dates and specific boundaries. These generally effect The Monument, Kiss of the Lepers, Picnic Lunch Wall and/or Smith Rock group, and possibly elsewhere. These usually run from February to the beginning of August, but each closure is usually shorter than this, and is dependent on the birds' behavior.

Description
Wonderful splitter finger crack into perfect/cupped hands with thought provoking moves - some bad rock (protected by a bolt) as is to be expected for Smith trad. Guidebook gives it an R but the natural line is directly up the west face variation and most certainly not an R as that is attributable to a weird traverse the FA did going hard left at the very end on 5.7 terrain. Go straight up the crack system instead. This line has PG gear and intriguing balancy crack climbing.
Link this route straight into to West Face variation (anchors directly above) and then Monkey Space or Pioneers if you want to ascend to the top.
