Enzo Oddo & L’equipe At Smith Rock (video)
Beaver and Arnould took the opportunity to meet up with Enzo and the French climbing crew at Smith Rock in Oregon last week. Just one week earlier and after only 2 days of trying, Enzo sent ‘Just do it’, the 5.14C route (and hardest) up the Monkey Face at Smith.
“Beautiful technique and light on his feet, Enzo so effortlessly ascends even the toughest routes. Our (prAna) size smalls are swimming on him, but he’s got a natural style and charisma that makes it all work” ~Beaver
PrAna climber Gerome Pouvreau also climbed some hard routes on the trip with his favorite being ‘Spank the Monkey’ 5.13D for the poetic moves and incredible aesthetic. Charlotte Durif made a beautiful and thrilling first female ascent of this arête also… just before heading back to France. The entire French group had a blast at Smith and look forward to exploring other U.S. climbing areas next spring.
