Supervalue stands out in Squamish’s Smoke Bluffs as a concentrated blast of classic trad climbing energy. This 100-foot single pitch draws climbers into a sequence filled with varied movements and technical nuance, rewarding those who appreciate a mix of face and crack work with a steady challenge. The route opens with a bold undercling traverse heading left, graded around 5.9, demanding both body tension and precise footwork. From here, the rock eases into an inviting left-facing corner that leads to a strategic rightward traverse toward a line of well-placed bolts. These bolts guide you diagonally upward, threading a path on textured granite that insists on careful clipping, especially at the third or fourth bolt where spacing highlights the need for composure and rope management.

Beyond the bolts, the climb transitions to a sustained hand crack. Here, climbers face a pivotal move—the crux—requiring a shift to a parallel crack on the right. This transition is more than a simple change of line; it tests finger strength and balance under sustained pressure with a rating leaning into 5.10c. Once past the crux, follow this crack confidently to the top, where two solid options for anchors await: a set of bolts to the right or a power tower’s support cable, both reliable for lowering.

The rock quality is typical of Squamish’s famed granite, offering features that feel alive under your hands—edges that challenge grip and cracks that invite gear placements. Speaking of protection, a standard Squamish rack covering nuts small to hand size cams fits the bill. Long slings and consideration of rope drag are crucial, especially early on and around the traverses. While the fixed anchors accommodate a 70-meter rope for lowered descent, experienced parties have managed rappels with 60-meter ropes using careful rope management tactics.

Situated in Boulder Gully within the broader Smoke Bluffs climbing area, this route sits among a diverse field of climbs that attract a blend of trad climbers and sport purists. The approach is straightforward, and the community surrounding this crag offers an engaged and knowledgeable crowd. Weather can vary, so aim to climb during dry windows when the granite’s friction is optimal, typically late spring through early fall.
