First Sawtooth routhe and I thought it was fantastic. I thought the runnouts were over hyped and very easy. Great jamming on pitches 1,2 & 5. We linked pitches 3 & 4 which saves you time (just be sure to leave a directional or two for you follower).

Open Book
I first climbed this route with Frank Florence in 1974 and liked it so much I came back and did it 3 more times. Most climbers used the large chimney to get to the crawl-under pitch below the summit but later we started using a different finish after Tom McCleod put up a route on the twin cracks that we called "Aerie". We also did the 3 variations on Feel Free but to my surprise, no one has published anything here about this route.

Open Book - good route
This was a great route. I found the first pitch to be hardest with its 4 inch width. On the last airy section I managed to place a yellow TCU in a pocket (after the fixed pin), so it wasn't so scary.
