5.9 5.8/9 Whipper snapper Sport Very Good
Alex Popinga
Fun route but is so slippery and so muddy slick at the anchor I believe it is worth the 5.9 it gets on The Crag rather than 5.8 on Mountain Projects (all holds completely caked in mud, I used an undercling to hoist myself up to clip the anchors as what would be jugs were... not)

 
5.6 Old and Decrepit Sport Good
Alex Popinga
Super easy but super wet at the bottom today

5.9 Over the Counter Unknown 75m Classic

Great climb. Difficult start with sustained climbing all the way up. Some call it a 5.10. Possibly longest at pictured. Not over used. Good view. Requires moves and not just holds. 8 bolts. Just around the corner from Tarzan.

Terrific first lead or climb. Stay out of the crack at the top for style points.

Dan Roberts
Enjoyable climb for everyone.

Direct finish is a bit puzzling. Fun warm up or in the rain due to overhang.
