Howe Unsound (6b+) I would not recommend leading this route in its current state. The pro is marginal at best and the thin flake is calving off in a few places. If it broke, it would drop like a guillotine on both your rope and belayer. For now, a top-rope is best. If someone took a crowbar to the flake and retro-bolted this route, it would be a quality climb worth visiting for.

Silver Surfer (7a) Incredibly technical climbing on polished white stone, which produces some very awkward cruxes. This route would be an amazing candidate for a retro-bolt. It's oddly runout in a number of spots. Bring gear...

Pulling Mussels (6b) A nice face climb in a fine position, but a couple more bolts would make it even better.
