Routes with only one free ascent?

How many routes are there in the Red that have only seen one free ascent? Sport or trad, 5.12 and up. If you go by the online guidebook there's quite a few but not everyone logs their ascents here, so what's the real list of " only free'd once" routes look like?

Not sure, but I have not heard of either the "Rudy's Project" or "Snotrocket" cracks at FRC getting second ascents.

There are some obscure or closed sport crags that probably have climbs without second ascents.
