Lost Arrow-- first time (solo ascent) was a shameless hangdog ascent. Second time was pretty solid, no falls, but not totally free of resting on the rope. Third time (solo again) was a bit worse than the second. Fourth was better. This is a route worth doing over and over to get solid at the grade because it has a little of just about everything.
Splinters-- a fun 5.7 romp
The Corner-- This feels like a sandbagged 5.5 until you discover the key hold.
Diagonal-- area classic. Despite the 9- rating, people struggle all the time on this because of the awkward positions.
The technical routes here are beyond my free soloing ability, although I'd still like to give The Corner a try. I had to settle for some Class 4 climbing instead.

Dark Corner-- fun
Skid Row-- worth doing but nothing special
