Deuce:
That is the wide section right off the belay starting the bay of pigs pitch on the Atlantic Ocean Wall, Rick lovelace and I did what we thought was the 4th ascent. We did it when the 3 pitches that fell off down low were still there. I remember climbing on that loose white rock, being pretty freakin scarry. I came back a year later for a different route, and had to scramble over those 3 pitches at the base. Alot of rock fell off the bottom of that route.
Werner:
I have herd through the grape vine that rick lives in Sparks NV. and is into hunting and boating. I feel Sad I haven't talked with him in many years. We had a falling out that we have never recoverd from. He had that el cap binge for a few years then gave it up cold turkey, now I here he likes to shoot turkeys.

I did that with mawk a few years ago. It was pretty dirty and required a lot of cleaning - dirt and plants from the cracks. We also replaced some anchor bolts. It wouldn't be a bad line if people climbed it more.
Genesis
Jon and I had a great time on that one. Fifth ascent I think. Shipoopoi did the third solo and Kate and E. did the fourth. Some harrrrrrrd free climbing on that one.
Continental Drift
Should be on the list. Neil and Callum and I did the second. You couldn't have missed the bottom of their portaledge! I was surprised with all the bat holes on the route, but it's still a great route with some pretty darn hard climbing on it.
KAOS
Kate and I did that one. Pretty good value! Goes up just left of the big Grey Circle.
Bad Seed
Superb route! One of my favourites. Ought to become a future classic. Not quite as hard as BUBS and a really great line. K8 and I climbed both of those.

Geez, I totally forgot, but MUST add
Bermuda Dunes
Definitely one of the very best routes on El Cap, which hardly ever gets done. Really great climbing up through the roofs to the right of the Salathe Headwall. A Shipoopoi masterpiece, with lots of opportunity for free climbing
