Comments: Excellent route! The traverse move isn't too bad if you get the right sequence and trust the feet. While definitely four stars, I think Lost Boys gets my vote for best Broughton 10. If you buy that it's a 10, that is...

Comments: Awesome route! Feels a little sandy at 11c, but maybe I suck at this style of climb. The bottom crux is definitely the hardest move but I kept falling on the upper arete.

Comments: I'm not sure if this one fit me better than Masterpiece Theater, but this feels a couple letter grades easier. Whatever it is, the climbing is fantastic. Never pulled a combo mantle/kneebar move before this one!

Comments: I hope that the holds aren't chipped. If so, that's incredibly lame. I know the rock on that wall isn't always the best, but come on. I don't think there's any justification for blatantly manufacturing holds these days, but chipping within reach of an established route is inexcusable. Particularly at a place like Smith where there are several hundred climbs you could do at just about any grade from 10a to 13+. I would hope this is an isolated incident and that new routes at Smith aren't bein... more >>

Comments: Well, I got to test my theory about decking if you blow the clip this morning and sure enough, deck I did. Not much fun, I'm gonna be limping for a little while and I landed fairly well considering. That second clip is incredibly dicey, so I think I'm gonna be using double ropes next time.

Comments: I belayed Kris on his attempt on the route shown. It started on Tarantula and then cut right over the big roof with a bolt for pro. We later did Tarantula staying in the corner, then traversing right up higher. Anyway, the route he tried was very hard and no one present was able to complete it. I looked at Swartling's guide to Devil's Lake, which seems to describe the one he tried as being Uberschmitt. However, the description in the guidebook doesn't match up with the description for Ubers... more >>

Comments: I decided to describe the sequences that most people use, even though I also have seen both of them done numerous ways. In fact, I used a sequence similar to the one you did Chris. I reached to the sidepulls out right as well, but I found it hard to switch feet and reach up with the left hand because I was so gassed from the rest of the climb that my hand would open on the positive but small sidepull. Instead I used the sidepull as an intermediate and bumped my right hand up to the good edge.... more >>


Location: OR : Broughton Bluff : Traffic Court (5.9)

Comments: This is one of the best 5.9 trad pitches I've done anywhere. It seemed a bit dirty and untraveled when I got on it. The right finish through the roof is the crux of the route and definitely the way to go in my opinion.

Comments: This is a great, varied climb. It makes for a great fully bolted sport pitch by linking it with Thai Stick. Only drawback is the bolt placements; a few are in awkward, hard to reach spots.

Comments: No Chris, I didn't get it. I found the climb to be very temperature dependent(especially since it was at my absolute limit). When I got on it and it was slightly humid I could hardly dog up it, but when it was dry I was coming really close to the redpoint. Ultimately, I fell touching the finishing hold on the last hard move three times, but just ran out of time before moving. Guess I'm just gonna have to finish it when I'm back.

Comments: This route climbs much better than it looks. Though a little contrived, sticking to the face at the start and going left after the big hole at the second bolt makes this route more like 11c and superb.

Comments: This is probably the second best 11 at redwing, after chinese freedom. Good rock, technical climbing the whole way.
