my favorite routes that i can't climb involve watching what other, stronger people fall on! :)

"my name is earl 11d" to test your tough move skills.
"gold rush 11d" for some solid hold pumpin.

i'm guessin if you can send that combo then you're ready for some 12a's. then again i'm still in pigsteak's category of lowly, non-real climber who pumps out on 5.10's so i don't really know.

if you do get out to "gold rush" at the gallery go ahead and jump on "different strokes 11c" for a really fun ego boost! :)

The 11's at torrent are some of the best. Check those out if you haven't already.

return of Chris snyder sounds like a good fit, it has a little bit of everything in it.

If you want short and steep, try Horn and Velvet at Bob Marely.

Different Strokes at the gallery looks good but I haven't been on it.

There Goes the Neighborhood at funk rock. And definitely prime directive, even though I think that one's a b.

Based on your requirements:

Military: All things considered
Sky Bridge: Dave the dude
Gallery: Gold Rush (not super steep and cruxy at the top)
Boneyard: Bangers and Mash
Solar: Buddah Hole (steep but not super steep with plenty of rests)

You should take rjacksons advice and work a few 12a's.

11d: Bundle of Joy

And if you get on "My Name is Earl" before you've climbed every other 11 in the Red, I'll karate chop you in your throat. Its a pile, unless its been recently bleached.

maybe it wouldn't be a pile if a few people would get on it! i tried that as my first 11d lead "attempt" b/c it was so short there was NO WAY i could pump out on it. too bad i could't pull the first move! then the 2nd and 3rd and 4th move kind of worked me too! then i was glad it was over and not a total loss because at least i got bloody! my thumb even still has that numb, tingly feeling when i touch it from a fall i took (except not) while it was stuck in a crack, all thanks to that climb! :lol:

it does have 3.86 stars from the 10 or so people who climbed it though

why isn't your name on the list; you've climbed like everything else? :P
