I just got back from Smith (which was awesome), and among the many routes I climbed there were two that aren't in the Smith guide.

One is on the Phoenix, just left of Fred on Air. It climbs up a mildly overhanging corner/dihedral and felt like 5.10+ or so (maybe a tad harder). There was some confusion there as to whether or not it actually was Fred on Air, because there are a few routes on there that aren't in the guide.

The other is on the backside on Snake Rock. It's a bolted line a few feet to the right of The Golden Road; it starts with a big powerful lieback/pinch sequence and then goes up some great jugs to a tricky undercling crux before finishing up a short slab section. It seemed like it too was around .10+/.11-. Any clues on their names and actual grades?
