Them would be from right to left in order:
Yankee Go Home .10a 1 bolt on each pitch of 110'
Great Brown Way .10c 1 bolt for 130' on each pitch
Great White Way .9+ 3 bolts for two pitches of 110' each
Dixie Crystals .9+ the same as above
etc etc etc
Climbed at both Stone and Looking Glass for over four years straight back in the late 80's early 90's.
I assisted in FAing five routes at Stone.
BTW: One of the toughest and most precise routes there is AMTRACK, 5.10X. The Direct start to GFR. 45 feet of Old Skool .10+ with NO Pro.
It is all there but you best be good on your feet and nerves.
