Braved the crowds today on the West-side.
Climbed Get Smart, nice route!
Great job guys, it's a sweet climb.
Optional Camelot, is, well optional.
I kept thinking...this must be the crux and each time it was...but there was a bolt close enough to keep it sane.
Below is a short clip (practicing time lapse videos)

Nice dude.
How does it compare to Little Javelina? (besides better protected).
-
You will love it!!!
Wee bit harder, but I gotta say all the moves are there.
It has long moves, each time I kept saying this HAS to be the crux!
Bump feet, big reach

Thanks dude.
I hope to get back to climbing someday...
-
Hope to see you in the high peaks!!!

My buddy and I also just did Flying None and Get Smart yesterday. Holy hell, Get Smart was a load of fun. Earns every star in the book. That's a Gavin route right? Thanks Gavin!!!

How did you like the final move?
I liked it.
Did not need the cam.

Glad you guys liked it, Zay! Brad spotted the line initially and I checked it out on TR before we committed to bolting. I placed most of the bolts, but Brad and I definitely worked on it together. It's a pretty sweet line - the upper chute reminds me of the climbing on Little Javelina at Spike's Peak (another fabulous, sustained climb).

For those that are interested - note in F4's video the big shallow pocket on the left soon after he emerges from behind the live oak. (He uses it for a handhold and later a stemming foot). When we first looked at the route that was a huge loadstone. I popped it off while exploring the moves and was surprised how easily it came off - it went crashing down into the gully. Very glad I removed it before continuing work on the route!

I climbed Get Smart yesterday and thought it was a classy route. Solid addition to the area. Thank you.
-
Ha! You knocked a good one off. There are still a few holds that might blow.
Still what a route.

Sounds like clink needs to lead it.

No Klink is banned from routes with small holds. The route is fin S is.
He must repeat all of those routes he put up and clean those routes up.

He would actually have to get out and climb first.
It pains me to say it but I am afraid there is little hope of him or me ever leading the route.
That being said, I keep seeing this thread title and it reminds me of something.
I never got the title for Get Smart when I was a kid watching the show. I always thought it was a reference to what a bumbling idiot Maxwell Smart was and he needed to get smart. I didn't get it until I watched Get Shorty. Of course the title could have had a dual meaning. Mel Brooks is one clever dude and one of my all time favorite producers. His irreverent humor is priceless.
I also never understood what the Boy Wonder used to frequently say on the Batman TV show until I studied
Spanish. I always thought he was saying holy pre-holy and it never made any sense to me - until that aha moment when studying Spanish spilled the beans.
Maybe this treatise should go on the bad jokes and clever sayings thread (or the poop thread).

This should go in "A few Perfect words". Was Zay just getting/being smart? Change the name while you can to the Emmons-Young Route. :)
As to breaking holds, is that bad? This is Pinnacles, petrified shit breaks. The real crime off my absence is that none of the recent route ratings have been properly confirmed.
I refrain from starting a new Star Wars though, as the original one will never end.
