Best 5.10 intro lead at Smith!
If you're breaking into leading 10's, do this short route first! Get over the skinny start ledge, as it actually adds to the safety and appeal of this route. Good jugs the whole way up, solid clipping stances, and overhanging enough to make lead falls relatively safe. Also short enough to avoid pumping out from the inevitable first 5.10 lead overgripping!

Top-roped
And I think it's harder than most 5.10b's in the Park. Very balancy, not very positive holds, dicey feet, exposure.... A fun climb, but harder than most 10b's at Smith.

Onsight ascent by:
Not much trouble...
Super fun climb, very enjoyable lead. The bolts are awesome, so well spaced. In fact, they are a little too close, but it helps when you step off the first block and fall onto the second. I'd probably downgrade this to a 5.9+....

Red Point ascent by:
An Interesting Story...
My partner dirted me from the crux because I was taking too long, hanging around like a sack of potatoes, or a drowned pig.... So I redpointed it, second try. Very much a boulder problem. Bring a few pads and a few good spotters, and leave the ropes for the surrounding climbs.

Both Pitches
The second pitch goes at 5.6, well bolted, super slabby, kind of brittle due to few ascents, but a great view, an awesome top-out experience, well worth the effort! We hiked up to Pleasure Palace and climbed a bit before descending through Aggro Gully.

I freaking LOVE this climb!! A great crack climb!! A little bit of everything on this one... Sit Start, lie-back, stem, hand jam, finger seam, crimpy face holds, a bit of balancy foot work, .... My only complaint is that it's not longer!!

Full Valued and Balancy
I attempted this climb on top-rope about a year ago and was blown off 20 feet up. The balancy, awkward moves and over vertical angle make it a real challenge. I was tempted to lead it on Thursday, since my climbing has improved markedly in the last year, but in the end decided to check it out on top-rope first. I'll be leading it next week, for sure! I'd call it a 10b, but a very fun one!

Like Butter...
Not! The peanut is one of the least enjoyable features at Smith Rock, in my opinion. A very knobby slab whose finish is no more rewarding than it is difficult.
