Nice Additions Rolf,

I see a few climbs making repeat appearances.

You put Cold Comfort (5.9) at the top of your list. I should get on that climb, looks right up my ally. "An excellent finger crack. Good protection and rests" Mclane guide 2005.
I wonder why Boulder Gully isn't more popular. It's close to the car park. I always kind of felt the climbs there seem to have a brooding feeling -- maybe because they are in often in the shade.

No one has mentioned Spiderfly. I thought it was a bit of a test-piece?

Rolf, you're the first to note Fatty Bolger. Are there not any really good climbs on High Cliff. The Gift 5.7 was mentioned in an article Squamish's Hidden Classics a couple of years ago.

Good stuff folks - keep them coming.

For the under 5.10 climbs I give thumbs up to:
Quarryman
Laughing Crack
Mosquito & Phlegmish Dance (one long pitch=great value)
Gross Incompetence (scary for the grade)
Cold Comfort
Old Age

For the over 5.10 climbs, I give thumbs up to:
Daydream Believer
Sky Dancing
Popeye and the Raven (unusual moves for a smoke bluffs climb)
Super Value
Centre Street

Neat and Cool, and Climb and Punishment are my fave 10's.

For 5.11's I think 'Weenie' and 'Teenage Girls won't Blow Gorbies' at Penny Lane are two of the best in the bluffs. Werewolves of London as well.

You should get on that one dave. It's fun. Picket Line 5.9 on the other side of the gully is fun too.

Glad someone mentioned "Old Age" I rarely see anyone on it and it reminds me of a "Rock On" Styles.

Isn't that "Supervalue"?

[Lurch]
