Ascents in Smoke Bluffs having Beta

When the cracks lean to one side = balancey

Gripping. Watch some crusher from Vancouver cruise it and her burn psyched me to go have a look at the crux. A good project.

Ok. Not Top 100 though.

Ok

Fail. There are some funky movements in the traverse sequence.

Guidebook has .10c and I'd agree (Ewbank 20). Has some very tricky moves past the manky piton. Worth coming to this area just for this route!

Ok. Sloppy footwork.

TRonsight lol.

Seconded my mate up it.

Rubbish.

Did Clean Starts and this in one pitch. Nice layback section then barely 5th class.

Thin smear moves with occasional fingertip features. Would be a tough lead.

Did the right hand variant. Very comfortable with 2 or 3 pieces of gear.

The diagonal (R to L) crack. Probably the best of the 3.

Nice easy line, good gear placements. There were some 5.7s that felt a bit harder than this.

Easiest way up this section of rock.

Great line but very run-out for the slabby crux at the top.

Many variations exist. The layback moves in the top half are the best bits. Good gear.

Several tough moves in the bottom section! Still getting a feel for granite slabs.

Easier than Catch Me. Only one hard move. Being quite tall would help.

Worth doing for some enjoyable fist jams.

Great line! I really loved the cruisage up the flake at the start.

Ok

Hand stacks up the top. Wow! Don't forget your #5

Two laps of this on top-rope. Looking forward to leading this badboy!

Bouldery start off the ground!!! But 5.5 for the rest of it.

Quite heady. Lots of C3s and small wires. Spicy.

A good route. One move and it's all over.

Would be an impressive on-sight between run-out bolts. I'm going to need a new pair of shoes if I keep scraping up this.

A very very very good climb for an evening outing. Second session for the day because with all he daylight it's very easy to do that. I love living in Squamish. Not sure I ever want to go back to Oz....

Ok. A bit strange at times but some good movements in here.

Stellar line!

A little tricky to protect.

Granite climbing at its best. Nice crack movement to slab.

Take a small red and yellow BD wire, a purple and green C3 and green and grey C4. Really nice route. TR'd then led

Pez

Bit wet. Bit run out at the top.

This was really nice. Good day out to give my shoes a good burn.

Quite trick. Since I was on TR, crazy Al go me to stay away from the logical crack for gear and try directly up the face. Goes at .10c as well.

Gosh slabs are heady. Lotta fun though.

Al wants the world to know this route is called "Sonya's Crack"

Hard. Need better rubber.

Fun. Nice line.

To fetch a quick draw on the .11c

Not bad. Interesting moves traversing into flake.
