Smarkand is good, long, and very solid rock P1 has a hard little slab then cracks, the origional P2 was knifeblading through a roof, the free variant is 3m left past bolts, then a long crack, P3 and 4 are ok, P5 is a very vertical wall with maybe a skyhook move at the top. I'd take all trad gear and maybe skyhooka nd few blades (and boltplates). Rap in via Critical Mass, the "Samarkand raps" are teriffying best cheat is to walk in and fix ropes down it so you can bail if necessary, rather than walking out (25 minutes to the Pierces pass track, then 25 minutes to the top). You can leave lunch and water on ledges
