Routes in United States of America for selected grade

One of the best. The only line up the otherwise blank piece of wall. Gorgeous.

Sustained face climbing on mostly good holds with a distinct crux midway.

Classic resistance climbing at its finest. First route right of the arete, follow the chalk. Have an attentive belayer going to the third bolt.

Starts in the corner / big crack and directly gains the face to the high first bolt. Easier terrain up to bolt 4 from where you reach into good unders. A reachy move into a slit are followed by a section that will test your finger strength. Jugs to the anchor.

Sustained crimping to infinity and beyond.

Fun 5.11 climbing to a no hands rest. Left-ward cracks lead to a shake and then to thin, defined crux. Rest on another big pod system for the technical, slabby finish moves up and left to anchors. Perma draws after the first anchor (for lowering, good warmup to there). Bring 6 draws.

Awesome line right of 1/2 Route. A 80m rope will barely bring you back down. Watch out for the swing when unclipping the first bolt.

Pumpy and steep with loads of footwork to keep it doable. Bouldery and powerful moves before easy anchors.

The best route of its grade at Smith. With a dynamic crux coming near the top, a climber needs to be careful to avoid getting pumped on the technical crimps and pockets below. The route is perfect in pretty much every way. The falls are clean and the climbing exciting, and this route should be on every climber's tick-list.

Although the route extends to the top of the cliff, the upper section is rarely done. Both pitches together bump the grade to a very pumpy 5.12c with a couple of good runouts at the top. Most ascents of this route stop at the anchors halfway up (5.12a).

Start up the ugly but easy choss slab and then get stuck in to the amazing, funky 3D climbing above. Brilliant movement.

While it's possible to go right around Indian Rock, most people start at the very bottom of the path and finish at the top of the top set of stairs (after crossing the Stairway Slabs).

Ultra classic line featuring super small edges on a vertical aesthetic face. Balance and finger strength will be required

Route has broken near the top making it less fun than it used to be. Still a fantastic climb. Finish by traversing left to anchors for Straight Outta Compton. The extension goes out the roof and is not to be missed!

Crimpy, technical with a couple of distinct crux sections. Perma draws starting at bolt 5. Was graded 5.13a before.

Varied climbing up to an interesting crux then an immaculate section on perfect rock to the anchor.

First route bolted at The Cathedral and one of the best. A huge journey up through crazy terrain. After clipping the bolt after the halfway anchor, unclip the anchor below to hugely reduce drag then head up and right via and arete, a corner crack and more steepness to a crimpy finale and no good hold to clip the anchor.

Hard low crux

From the right side jug, traverse to the right end.

Crack just right of White Face

Start with right hand jug and left hand sidepull under the cave. Slap your way up with the right and crimp with the left. Top out.
