If you want to claim you sent an 11, there's Critters on the Cliff at Bruise Brothers, but it's not really an 11 (in my opinion or the Online guidebook's). I've only lead 6 other 11s and not sent any of them. If you've done Toker and Fuzzy, you shouldn't have any problems with the others:

Monkey in the Middle - The Zoo (no hard moves, just endurance)
Whip Stocking - Drive By
Edge-a-Sketch - Great Wall (crimpy)
Jungle Trundler - Bruise Brother's
Fuzzy Undercling
Toker

I've heard Momma Cindy has a sketchy run-out and Another Doug Reed Route has a potential scary swing if you take the easier variation to the right.

I don't know if they're necessarily easy for 11b but the 3 at Bronaugh Wall are all great, the crag is reasonably kid friendly, reasonably casual hike and gets excellent afternoon shade. it is a pretty small crag so a couple groups could easily over run it but I have never seen other people up there. its one of my favorite crags.

the 11b's at the zoo are pretty soft and i think they all have one or more no hands rests.

don't listen to anti about Skunk love, its a great route but its slab.

if you want to get off the beaten path, go get on Electric Cowboy at Purple Valley. really fun route and maybe a bit soft for 11b. gets into the shade in the afternoon.

King Me is great, but it may be a bit hot this time of year.

Random Precision is AWESOME, should get afternoon shade. not really off the beaten path.

Tweaked Unit is a really cool route, gets good shade and has a 10 on either side to warm up on. got on this last week and loved it.

I haven't been on it for years but Yadda-Yadda-Yadda is great.

is that a serious question mcrib?

on another note, there are more 11b sport routes in the red than any other grade except for 12a. so get busy Petey, lots of work to do :wink:
