Visiting Smith in mid-September, need climbing partners!

Hi,
I'll be in OR in September and I want to climb at Smith for a couple of days. As a Bostonian, I don't have many contacts out there so I need to find some folks willing to host me and show me around. My ideal dates to climb are the 20th and 21st. I'll probably get to the immediate Smith area late on the 19th.

I'm somewhat new to climbing but the bug bit hard and I went from nothing to working at the local rock gym within a year. In terms of sport climbing, I can get up 5.10s (maybe something harder with patience.) I can climb harder on TR or in the gym.

Ideally, I'm looking to meet up with someone with local knowledge and maybe even gear. I'll have all my personal gear but if I can avoid lugging draws, rope and other gear across the country, that'd be great. I'll make it worth your while in the form of beer, dinner and eternal gratitude. I'd also be happy to host you over here if you want to check out Rumney, cannon or something.

I'd love to do monkey face as it looks amazing but I realize that everyone else wants to do it too. I welcome suggestions for other great climbs to enjoy the crag and the views.

Thanks!
Matt
