Smith Rock is one of the USA's top rock venues and a must on any Brit climber's road trip tick list. The facility would be the largest power plant of its type in the Northwest, spewing out a 1,500-foot plume of white smoke from its 200-foot smokestacks. That's 700,000 tons of air pollutants each year.
An online petition to preserve smog-free climbing at Smith has been set up: www.petitiononline.com/Grizzly/petition.html
