Redmond’s new climbing spot ‘bridges’ gap

Redmond’s new climbing spot ‘bridges’ gap

Redmond held an unusual “rope-cutting” ceremony Wednesday afternoon to formally introduce an equally unusual new climbing area, located underneath the arches of the Maple Avenue Bridge.

“This is just a golden opportunity for us to put something into the city for folks who know what they’re doing — men and women,” he said. Endicott said he is in favor of this climbing area not only because it compliments nearby Smith Rock well, but it’s also a great way for visitors to get a glimpse of what Redmond has to offer.
There are only a few other climbing areas in the world like the one under the Maple Avenue Bridge, making it a hot commodity for gravity-defying expert climbers from all around the globe.

"Central Oregon is home to many recreational activities. Redmond’s investment in this new climbing bridge represents opportunity for this industry’s continued growth in our community.” - Jon Stark REDI Sr. Manager
