I am pretty sure the thing to the left of plan 9 or project 9 or whatever its called is a 12a. I led "plan 9" about a week after it was bolted and thought it was probably 10a at least. I then lead it a week later and pulled off about 50 pounds of rock. Some of this rock were good holds. So maybe it got harder.

Okay folks, I'm finally getting back to this. Here is the latest list. If you have anymore changes, please post up. There are still some questions on ratings to be resolved, but I'll go with majority opinions for now. Except on Technical Foul. If it's 12a once you know the sequence, isn't it still 12a??
I'll start entering The Arena tomorrow. Once it is in I could use FA, length, bolt count, move, directions and description information if you've got it. Thanks, everyone, for your input!

Sorry Gothmog, I've done Exacta and talked to the FA as well and watched a couple of people climb it and it's 5.7. I think you might agree if you do it again.
I agree that Big in Japan is harder than Blue Plate Special after doing both this weekend. We thought Stairway to Freebird was a 9 and MY EIGHT YEAR OLD DAUGHTER (& I) SENT IT on top rope! Is it really a 10c?? I thought Rebel Yell was way harder than Stairway to Freebird. Anyone care to comment on these routes?
If I missed anything, please let me know.
