Pumpy overhanging rout with 8 bolts and chains at the ankers. First line to the right of Crankenstein

First bolt line to the right of Pump o Rama. The rating can change doe to breaking of holds. Make certain all anchor bolts are connected.The grade on this climb has changed several times.

The first line of bolts to the right of Road Face. 7 Bolts to chains on anchor. Technical edge climbing to strenuous crux on the head wall section.

A very fun and bouldery route that starts and finishes just right of Blue Light Special. This is the second route from the left on the Shiprock.

The Stoney Surfer features hard arete climbing (the first crux) followed by a powerful crux on good holds. The ending bit is probably in the low 5.11 range, but it can sustain a good pump. Although this is a new route, the rock quality is remarkable. The hard climbing has perfect rock with beautiful streaks running down it. The climbing after the cruxes is still good, but not as perfect as at the crux.

It shares the first two bolts with Rising Tides and then branches out left. Start of on some chossy rock that is surprisingly solid. Large blocks are held in place creating jugs that lead to the clipping stance for the 2nd bolt. Looks scarier than it really is! Don't be shy because of the intimidating start.

Traverse into the perfect rock out left and begin the first crux after clipping the 3rd bolt. The first crux is both powerful and delicate but good body positioning makes it doable. The rock on the arete passing the 3rd bolt is as good as any rock in the park! Get a decent rest and begin the 2nd crux passing the 4th bolt. The crux is outright powerful but at least features decent holds. After the cruxes, work your way up the last 3 bolts of 5.11- climbing.

A unique experience. After tiptoeing past the bottom 20ft of "shattered rubble"(stick clip highly recomended as I think you could spend all day pulling 10 lb to 50 lb chunks out of the start), the rock turns solid as you enter a long section of liebacking. At the end of the lieback make a long reach to another crack system, this is potentially the hardest move on a redpoint burn. The technical crux comes higher, after a complete rest on the flake move up and right to good huecos just below the roof, clip the last bolt and find a good pocket out left and finish it out.

One of the most aesthetic lines at smith. The only fitting description is, MEGA! Starts in a somewhat awkward corner before clearing the first roof on good holds. Rest up before the second roof and the technical crux, sequential pockety crimps to a decent rest below the third roof. Traverse using either face holds or underclinging the roof, whichever feels better to you and prepare yourself for the redpoint crux, the massive pump generated while cranking good holds to the chains.

While obviously not as classic as Tsunami, this variation is a great option if your looking for a slightly easier tick.

Begin on Riptide, clipping the first three bolts. Traverse hard left into the final roof of Tsunami. The traverse is not trivial and requires an attentive belay. This part is fairly reachy and will probably require some crappy intermediates if you don't have the wingspan. Finish on Tsunami; this is the section that makes the climb 5.12.

Steep, blunt arete to the right of Bloodshot. Steep bouldery jugging, unique for Smith!

New anchor added to allow for lowering with a 70m rope (and lowering the grade by a letter)

Hard move just below the top

A nails (v5-6) crimp boulder under the first bolt guards an enjoyable 5.11ish pumper. Worth doing when it's cold.

(12c in the 3rd Edition Smith Rock Guide)

A brilliant, long pitch of Smith Rock crimping. Bolted line just left of Karate Crack. Follow bolts and a few healthy runouts to the top of the wall.

A great route with delicate climbing and fun moves. Start on the shelf on the left side of the Latest Rage buttress and climb an aesthetic face that gets a little harder the higher you go. The middle is tough, but the ending is no walk.
