Catch You unfolds at the juncture of familiar movements and precise technique, beginning with shared steps alongside Move It On Over before branching into its own distinctive path. The climb kicks off with accessible moves to the first bolt, offering a moment to settle into rhythm before entering a demanding stretch of thin friction climbing. This section tests balance and footwork as you trust delicate edges and subtle nubs, feeling the rock’s texture press through your fingertips. Soon, the route opens into a flaring finger crack, demanding controlled placements and deliberate body positioning. Though the crux eases beyond this point, the climbing maintains a satisfying variety—shifting between crack jams that invite careful handwork and smooth face sections requiring steady foot precision and dynamic reach.

Protection blends fixed bolts with thin trad gear placements, making gear selection a thoughtful task; small offset cams expand your options for secure placements, especially through the crack sequences. The bolted anchor at the top suggests confidence in a controlled descent, and a 60-meter rope ensures comfortable top-rope access. Engaging yet technical, Catch You strikes a balance between sport and traditional elements, inviting a climber who values subtle friction and crack finesse.

The Smoke Bluffs area itself offers an accessible yet rugged backdrop, with granite faces that wear marks of countless ascents but always retain a raw edge. The approach is straightforward, allowing you to focus energy on the climb’s subtle details. Sounds of forest life surround the base as scattered breezes tease the pines, while panoramic views from the top reward your effort with fresh air and clear vistas toward Squamish’s wild horizon.

While the 5.10 range signals a solid challenge, the sustained finger cracks and thin pro placements push you to sharpen technique and confidence. Preparation here means checking gear for the small cams that will give peace of mind, warming up fingers well to handle the friction demands, and pacing moves carefully to avoid unnecessary exertion. Timing your ascent during mild weather maximizes rock friction and comfort, with spring and early fall presenting ideal windows to enjoy stable conditions and manageable crowds.

Catch You invites climbers ready to blend calculated risk with textured movement. It offers a chance to engage with granite in a way that rewards focus, patience, and the thrill of placing protection on a route where every hold counts. Those who seek a concise, vibrant climb with a mix of sport bolts and trad gear will find this route an eager companion in The Smoke Bluffs’ collection.
