I am looking at trying some 5.10- single pitch climbs before I leave squamish and was hoping to get some suggestions from some people that know squamish well.
I would prefer routes that are well protected and are crack climbs.
I can comfortably lead 5.9 but haven't tried more than 1 or 2 5.10a routes yet.
Thanks for the help.

Can't edit my original post, but some routes I have been thinking about are:
The Zip 5.10a
Flying Circus 5.10a (though looks super polished!)
Pauls Crack 5.10a (how is the gear off the ground? I remember it being thin to start)
Jabberwocky 5.10a/b
Arrowroot 5.10b
Thanks

-p1 of Exasperator is perhaps the best 10a in Squish - and very well protected.
-Seasoned in the Sun is another good 10- with good gear
-Short Sentry at Nightmare 10a
In addition to the routes you mentioned in the Bluffs, you've got:
Nubile Woman
Talking Holds (a little burly)

agree with Bradley...Neat and Cool is definitely not a good first 10a. It has good gear, but you have to be savvy about placing it. Its also fairly pumpy, so you don't have all day to hang out at the overhang.

Nubile Woman's probably the best one because it's really about 5.9
