(5) Southern Tip

The southern most part of Smith Rock Group (and of Smith Rock), this crag is located where both the trail and Crooked River make a near-180 degree turn and head back north toward Asterisk Pass. When approaching from the front side (from Phoenix Buttress), the first batch of climbs (encountered just before rounding the tip) range in difficulty from 5.10c to 5.12a. For easier climbs, continue around the tip to the section called Waterfall Slab. Southern Tip's most popular route is Kunza Korner (5.10c).
