In some sense great multipitch 5.10 climbs are concentrated in a few distinct areas. I would not miss climbing at....

 

The Squaw

5-7 pitch climbs almost all in the 5.10b to 5.10d range

Birds of Prey 10b

God Forsaken Land 10d

Great Game 10d Haven't done it but hear it's excellent

 

The Solarium

Remote, quiet area with some beautiful routes

Sun Blessed 4-pitch 10b **** One of the best

Several other worthy routes as well

 

Base of the Grand Wall

Apron Strings 2p 10b Classic, tenuous laybacking

Cruel Shoes 6p 10d Excellent low angle face climbing

Pheasants Route 5p 10b Fun

Milk Run 3p 10c Burly!!!

Split Pillar 10b Must do!

 

Shannon Falls & Papoose

Local-Boys-do-Good 3p 10d slab Don't miss this one!

Centerfold 3p 10b Incredibly varied climbing

Papoose 1 5p 10b Neglected but Excellent

 

The Apron

5.10 climbs on the Apron tend to have sparse pro where as 5.11s tend to be well bolted. Go figure

 

Unfinished Symphony 5.11b or 10d+A0 **** Another of the best climbs in Squamish. Pro can be challenging.

 

White Lightning 10c Excellent, old-school, run-out friction climbing

 

Furry Kitten Wall

This is way up in a drainage behind Squamish. I got rained off one route here but the climbing we did was excellent, good gritty granite with nice crack systems. If you're there in the middle of summer check it out otherwise it could be damp.

 

While you're there I would highly recommend doing Star Check up in Cheakumus Canyon (best position of any route in the area) and go cragging at Seal Cove as well (Slab climbing directly over Howe sound).
