Smoke Bluffs Pixie's Corner
	5.12c	★★ Digital Dexterity	Trad 15m		CElliott
Can confirm this thing is hard. Has less to do with the dexterity of your digits and more to do with recyclability of your rubber. I don't think I can afford to project this one...

This thing is fer sure harder than Fear Fear of Flying. Maybe harder than pink panther. More like 11c to me.

Really fun! Tricky getting to the first bolt if you don't use the crack, but after that is fun.

Quite a hard smearing move which I did not have time to figure out.

Was having a high gravity day. I'm gonna start throwing lead laps on this route to get my head back in the game.

Oh fuck yer bud (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-glHAzXi_M). My third trad 25. And the same week to boot! Best climb in the Bluffs.

Smoke Bluffs Split Beaver
	5.11c	Organ Failure	Trad 15m		CElliott
Burned off this today on the sharpie but it felt smoother. Challenging face slab techerry. Good warm ups nearby though.
Fri 30th Sep 2016 - Squamish
Smoke Bluffs Spiderfly
	5.12a	★★★ Spiderfly	Trad 10m	★★★ Classic	CElliott
Gave this two good lead burns today. A 2-hang and then a 1-hang, the latter being more of a "hey lets just fall off the 5.10 top out locks after you've pulled the cruxes and shaken out for a bit. I've never fallen off the top till today. Lawwwwl. Anyway, shit happens. Even though the sending is scarce, all the training value I'm getting from repeatedly climbing 5.12 finger cracks is turning me into a machine since a one-hang as far as your body is concerned is basically like finding a mid-route no hands rest. So it's nice to know that I'm getting better!
Mon 26th Sep 2016 - Squamish
Smoke Bluffs Split Beaver
	5.11c	Organ Failure	Trad 15m		CElliott
I believe the guidebook calls this .11b but that .11c is acceptable to me. It's not a sandbag at .11b but it would be stiff for the grade.
Mon 26th Sep 2016 - Squamish
Smoke Bluffs Penny Lane
	5.11b	Jangling Ball Wall	Trad 30m		CElliott
Gonna put it out there that this is a Penny Lane .11b. I think the mantle crux is harder than the crux on the Yorkshire Gripper. Direct finish up the crack at the top is best.

Stupidly bolted. What is the point of making a stick clip route? Good climbing though.

Smoke Bluffs Spiderfly
	5.12a	★★★ Spiderfly	Trad 10m	★★★ Classic	CElliott
Couplea hangs with the new kicks. They did, indeed, make all the difference. I'm close.
Sat 10th Sep 2016 - Squamish
Smoke Bluffs Spiderfly
	5.10d	★★ Something Short	Trad 8m		CElliott
And another re-point just for good measure.
	5.12a	★★★ Spiderfly	Trad 10m	★★★ Classic	CElliott
I've been dialing the moves in after work quite a bit this week, also experimenting with solo TR setups for those partnerless days when I'm back in Oz. Burned off on lead today but I am witnessing progress. Shoe rubber seemed to be a limiting factor so I went and bought new kicks for my next attempt.
	5.10d	★★ Something Short	Trad 8m		CElliott
And a same day re-point for fitness laps.
	5.10d	★★ Something Short	Trad 8m		CElliott
Sent after burning off Spiderfly.

Not the best gear, and not the best climb!
Sat 3rd Sep 2016 - Squamish
Smoke Bluffs Penny Lane
	5.12b	Kahoukers	Trad 25m		CElliott
This route is real but seems like it would go on a good friction day with fresh rubber and sanded tips. Not sure how you'd place the gear though ha-ha
	5.11c	★★★ Crime of the Century	Trad 15m		CElliott
Putting the rope up on Kahoukers.
	5.11c	★ Teenage Girls Won't Blow Gorbies	Sport		CElliott
Gave this a quick rip today. Should go.

Good fun, and a pumpy warmup!
	5.11b 5.11c	★★ Turbocharger - with Deano	Trad 12m	★ Good	topher
Second shot. Took too long trying to place gear after bolts on first shot. Gear is completely bomb-proof, and not that hard to place once you figure out where! Yellow metolious in finger crack, which is easily passed.
Fri 12th Aug 2016 - Squamish
Smoke Bluffs Crag X Supervalue
	5.10c	★★★ Supervalue - with Deano	Mixed trad 35m, 4	★★★ Classic	topher
Great fun, and has a few marginal moves going around the arete. Longer than I expected!

I remember finding this one pretty tough!
Sat 6th Aug 2016 - Squamish
Smoke Bluffs Black Zawn and Environs The Black Zawn
	5.11a	Perfidious Albion	Trad 30m		CElliott
Quite hard. Will go back for it.
	5.10d	Token Brits Direct	Trad 30m		CElliott
Fudged the onsight but I'll have to go back for it. Much of the climbing is sporty and difficult to read and the gear is occasionally spicy but it goes well enough.
Sat 6th Aug 2016 - Squamish
Smoke Bluffs Spiderfly
	5.12a	★★★ Spiderfly	Trad 10m	★★★ Classic	CElliott
I tried this a year ago with Andrew and it felt way off for both of us. This time I went back with Andrew (who boulders like a madman in that forest) and he went for it ground up, failed, then walked around and rigged the TR. We both gave it to burns each and got it down to one or two hangs. I think this will go for me this season and it will go for Andrew sooner.

	5.11d	★★ Red Nails	Trad		CElliott
Gave it an inspection to suss out the gear. Will go for this one ground-up in future. It's hard but sequence-ey!
