Lost in Space
After climbing Monkey Space a couple of weeks ago I as eager to check out some of the other multi-pitch sport routes at Smith. These are from a route called Lost in Space which is on the NE face of the Smith Rock Group (just left of White Satin). Overall this was a great route, with pitches of 5.6, 10c, 10b, and 5.9, to a cool little summit with a different perspective on the park than I'm used to. The exposed third pitch alone is worth the trip up there and would see endless traffic if it was at the base of Morning Glory wall. I would highly recommend avoiding the super chossy last pitch by down-climbing off to the gully on the right. You can still go to the summit but don't have to worry about knocking out your belayer!

Is it windy up here?
Wait, isn't it June?
