Full value!
This route packs a punch from bottom to top, but there are rests and good pro along the way. You can place a #5 on this, but it is not necessary. Double #4's and #3's will sew up the scary bits(or you can walk them if you have singles). Don't forget small gear for the hidden cracks in the chimney.

One of the best!
Love this handcrack! Combining P2 of G-M with this pitch makes a great line.

Aesthetic and technical
Love the way this climb flows. It is a beautiful, clean route requiring a variety of techniques from 5.9 chimney to .10b fingers and protects well with gear up to a #1 cam. (You can place a #3 above the ramp on the left if you're nervous about the moves below the bolted start. A #.75 can also be placed in the crack below the bolt).

Thin, heady fun!
Extras of tiny cams and tcu's help to mitigate some of the runouts, but still a few heady sections on thin varnish and/or fragile rock keep the excitement high.

disappointing
Excited about doing a bit more crack rather than the slab finish to Centrefold, we found this variation to be dirty and disappointing. While it isn't the worst corner I ever climbed, it certainly added nothing to the route except for a convenient rappel line.

Heads up
This climb was enjoyable in that every pitch had something that really got our attention. Definitely makes for a fun afternoon when combined with one of the other 5.10's at the Papoose.

Fun afternoon outing
This climb went rather quickly,. The first pitch was exciting and the best of the route. Take a #4.
There is a new "Hiking Trail" descent for the Squaw which avoids the "Climb Down" cave. Details/directions here:

Wonderful route
Led P's 1,2,3.
We linked the first two pitches and the last two pitches(we were using a 70m rope) which made the route flow nicely. The cruxes are super fun and well protected and the climbing is varied and enjoyable. Note that there is a new "Hiking Trail" descent that avoids the dangers of the traditional "Climb Down" cave.

Fun line!
This route is rated as 5.9 in the Squamish Select guidebook and that rating seejmed a little sandbagged, though I wouldn't say it was even close to feeling ".10b". The moves were all there and pro was good. It was an interesting and enjoyable line; I'm glad we hopped on it.
From the right of the start of Centrefold, watch for the fixed line, which you take to the belay ledge.
