Subject: RE: Visiting Bend Oregon Here's who I would recommend: http://www.goclimbing.com/ I've never personally used them but I've talked with a few of the guides and they seem knowledgeable and safe. Also, although Smith is a world class climbing destination, if you can't arrange a climb theres also some good hikes in the area. Misery ridge is a good climb that leads you up and over the top of Smith Rock. On clear days there are some great view's of the surrounding mountains. There's also the river trail that runs all the way around smith. They're both about a half day + hikes. View from the top Me climbing Monkey Face Me in the mouth of Monkey Face.
