5 out of 5 stars Best 5.10b at Smith?

Hard to compete with JT's Route, but this one might do it. Short and sweet. Went to climb the 10a, but this route was just too attractive not to climb so we went for this one. Climb it fast, but enjoy it. Well worth the amazing hike as well.

4 out of 5 stars Good climb for first-time leaders

Called a 5.7 in the book, and only because of the short crux at the bottom. The rest is pure 5.6, but still worth a run up no matter what grade you climb. Really interesting holds on featured rock, and an unbeatable view at the top.

4 out of 5 stars Wow

Really nice sequence on jugs, solid side pulls, and positive edges up to a super thin crux on monos and small crimps. High feet in the middle of your body are crucial. Only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because its not sustained climbing at all, but still a fantastic climb well worth its hype and praise.

1 out of 5 stars Ew

A thin, slabby route with a low crux. Not very fun. Ugly sequences and might climb higher than its grade. Must be popular because of its proximity to Morning Glory Wall, but there are much nicer 5.8s at Smith!

4 out of 5 stars Definitely worth it

Edgey start followed by a fun jughaul of similar difficulty to Five Gallon Buckets (5.8) a couple climbs over. Finishes with the super crimpy two or three-bolt sequence that gives this climb its grade.

5 out of 5 stars Phenomenal 5.10

Gradually gets harder as you work your way up. Move through the flowy jug haul, work up through a more technical section with positive edges and jugs, then shake out before pushing through the bulge full of crimps, side pulls, and intense movements.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic

An absolutely gorgeous line with huge jugs, positive edges, and attractive rock. Interesting layback section just before the second topmost bolt is the crux. Super flowy. One of the best 5.8s I've ever climbed.

2 out of 5 stars Not a favourite

Most difficult at the start with an easy slab to finish. Tons of neat knobs.

3 out of 5 stars Pretty average

Small holds, with the hardest section in the first 3 bolts.
