There's also Whipstocking at Drive By, though I don't know how the falls are down low. Good luck!
We've lost a lot of good climbers on that route. Be careful! Also, it's only rated an .11 if you're hanging the draws in 90° temperatures with 100% humidity. FYI.
Anyone know why this is a dangerous route? The old guide book describes it as a less steap Ro Shampo. Sounds pretty cool to me. Don't want to get on something that my chance of being "lost" is too high, though. Especially as an intro to 5.11 climbing.

air ride equipped might be a great intro 11a, if nothing else because it has an almost endless amount of no hands rests. so you can reall focus on climbing rest to rest rather than bolt to bolt. it is steep and has clean falls but the rock is not the absolute best quality. To top it off, it is a seriously fun route.
Maypop at Left Flank. It has one 11a move. The bottom probably goes in the 9+ to 10- range and the top probably goes at 10 something. Plus it's a classic. If it doesn't go you can clean from Mr. Bungle. And then you can walk over to Military and do Sunshine and Moonbeam and feel all better.
