oh-henry and maypop are not 11's i would get on if i were trying to get into the grade. Whip-stocking has been mentioned but I'll put in a good word for yadda-yadda-yadda which is just around the corner and if you're at DriveBy get on Spirit Fingers (.11c) cause its a pretty neat route. drive by is a good crag to head to for someone doing .10's and looking to get on a few 11's cause the routes are good, close together and generally its quiet up there. down side is you may have climbed everything you can there in a couple days.
Sand inhibits the production of toughtosterone, so get it out and send.
I'd have to agree that if you are looking for undisputed 11's go to the lode. but get on them in the late afternoon, those three routes are some of the sunniest routes at the Red. my first 11a was fuzzy undercling(I think) but many people say it sucks for a first 11 because its not sustained. use the online guide and check out 5.11's that were bolted before 2000 if you want good classics.
