The Graduate is a test of technique, power and endurance, with multiple difficult sections to test your skill and determination to pass this final exam. Starting off with a low crux (slab/corner/groove thing) to establish in the layback crack. Powerfull laybacking leads you into the meat of the climb which revolves around a crimp a pinch and a deadpoint to a sinker two finger sidepull pocket off of "ok" feet. Keep hanging on and try to rest under the roof so you're ready for the tiny pockets and edges to the chains.

Passing Grade

Variation off of Pop Quiz - Same start as Frat House. Left of the start to Pop Quiz. Once at the top of the thin-hand jams of Pop Quiz head right through 5 bolts to a chain anchor.

Fun little variation with some exposure going left at the seventh bolt on Summer School past three more bolts and some gear.

Really cool pockets lead to a crux that pulls you around a small roof.  The holds are good, but are sometimes far apart and even after the roof you need to stick it out until the anchors.

This route shares the first 5 bolts with "Summer School" then continues straight up through a powerful groove involving a deadpoint to a hand jam followed by a "gather your self" jug and into a tricky deadpoint / dyno sequence. Easy 5.10 climbing after the crux to the chains. Oh, did I mention theres a mantle...

Pop up to an excellent undercling and step right. Then pull an 'annoyingly, awkward' crux over a small roof and stem to the top.

Fun moderate mixed route with a little bit of everything. Slab, Groovy/Chimney section, techy pockets and a crack section (need a .75 / .5 for the crack section). There is a hidden jug up top that makes the final moves from the last bolt to the anchor a bit more tolerable......

 FFA early 80's by Ted Johnson & Catherine Freer.

 This unmistakable arch is the most-imposing crack on the Reproductive Wall. Most climbers flunk out on the contorted, thin-hand jams at the start, but you'll ace the test if you can claw past. 

Easy slaby scrambling leads to some vertical climbing on good rock using jams and jugs.  The Mellow nature of the climbing, easy protection, and short length of the route make this a great first trad lead.

A physical and pumpy mixed route with fairly easy climbing until its not. A rattly fingers crux at 3/4 height gets things going and stays with you till the end. 

Old top route problem, recently bolted. 

This route is not a difficult 5.11, but it is consistent and delicate, and earning of the grade.

Awkwardly up a corner for about 15 ft Traverse at a small lip for 4 feet and up at a notch (crux).  Continue straight up on easier ground with a few finish options

A right leaning corner quickly leads to a strenuous jamming/laybacking crux at a slight bulge.  The 5.9 finish adds spice as it protects poorly.

Scramble and scum to the ledge, then burly overhanging hands and fists to the jugs. Be careful coming off the ledge into the overhanging crack so you don't deck.Guidebook calls this .8, but that's a sandbag.  

Variation off of Pop Quiz - Frat House starts at a bolt left of the Pop Quiz start. Technical and smeary climbing leads past the first bolt and in to the imposing thin-hands crack of Pop Quiz. Continue up until Pop Quiz heads left and Frat House heads right past 4 bolts to a chain anchor.

The best route on Rim Rock and one of the best 5.11's at Smith.    Start up fun jugs and huecos and angle right.Hard moves come before reaching an arete near the top of the buttress. Difficulties mount as you ascend the arete.   Well protected, technical, super fun! 

While Bonfire is nothing to write home about, it does act as a great warm-up for harder climbs in the area or a good climb for someone who likes just a hint of wide crack in there climb. The upper wide crack can easily be a lie back but the more technical off-width style is actually easier in terms of effort input.

Starts on a short crack. Edge past two cut bolts and finish up a left facing dihedral. The crux is at the start of the dihedral. The route protects well. Use double length slings to build an anchor on a big horn at the top of the route. 

 The walk off or top rope hike up option is to climbers left before the start of the Reproductive Wall.

The best part of the Student Wall. It is the left side of the crag and holds some goods crack climbs and a few excellent sport climbs including Drilling Zona.
