"hey. easy on mr. sketchy

"he's gotta be pushing 50 himself. which is why he loves those moldy oldies."

I resemble that remark; though I take some offense at the suggestion that I have some necrophilia thing going on.....

Check out the Valley of Kings section of climbingjtree.com, it tells all including photos. The route is on the inside of the Arrowhead formation which is about 250 yards to the left (east-southeast) of the Helmet:

Any splitter that you don't have to take a number to climb. Good thing I don't mind a long walk.

"hobbit roof 5.9" ... 5.9?

the face below may have a 10b/c move, but that roof sure feels 5.9 to me.

How about making a directory of what climbs to do on cold days,
warm ones, and which ones stay in the shade?

Not everybody knows that acid crack is it's own little reflector oven facing south for good mid day climbing on a cold or even windy day. Or on a hot day, baby apes stays in the shade and is a short walk.
That would be a real help to some I think.
