This sucky climbers favorites in no particular order:

Kentucky Pinstripe
Chocolate Waterfall
Sunflower
Persian Gulf
Yellow Brick Road
Edge of Your Seat
Shaved Squirrel
Skunk Love
Capture the Flag
27 Years of Climbing

Noted preference for slabs (80%) and apparently for closed climbs (40%)

Are there ten 5.6 sports total that I can list? I'll grab that hard-to-find guidebook and check. Maybe I'll even venture into the world of 5.7, if only I can dream.

I would have to agree with fellow sucky climber JB on:

KY Pinstripe
Yellow Brick Road
Sunflower

And then:

Kampsight
Creature Feature
Toxic Avenger
Diamond in the Rough
Scooby Doo
Jack in the Pulpit
Reserved Seating

Also, similar to JB 80% (90% if you don't count the roof move on Creature Feature) slab preference and 20% closed routes.

wait wait...even at .11b, yellow brick road isnt for sucky climbers, i dont think...i bet someone who climbs exclusively at the lode might not have the easiest time on that route, unless they are a really fantastic all-around climber...
maybe it just has a special place in my heart cuz its my hardest onsight so far........
