In order:
"The Move"
"The Short Bus"
"Variety"
I have forgotten the other 3 which were done just last June. Sucks to be 52 and not think that stuff matters. Cause you will forget it quickly.
ps, nice pics of your routes, thank you.
I wish these were as good as yours, but I'll share anyway as they are all pretty recent.
Here's me on a new one last June/July before beacon opened in an area earlier declared "climbed out". No bolts on this line as it take small gear well. There are bolts to the left where someone else did a bolted route on the face couple of years earlier. I do not remember the name of either my route or that route. I had done some here 25 years ago and forgot them, they now have authentic FA'S by other folks about 2 years ago:-) We never put bolts in at this location then. So I might have done this one 25 years ago, really not sure. Doesn't matter in either case I suppose. Pretty good climbing as you can see. Nice rests, good pro. Normally first time up something like this, I'll stuff all kinds of extra pieces in and back things up, but it was just flowing, and the rock didn't seem too loose, so it was fine to run out some.
Here's Ujahn leading the short bus. Great lead. He's about 2' above his first piece there. Good body and mind control on dusty slab.
Here's me on "the Plum" local Rocky Butte climb. No bolts here either, but if someone wants to put some in, have at it. Probably not a bad idea. Everything which looks like a good crack is in actuality an expanding flake. Nuts and hexes work OK, but I could see a person zippering cams which in all other respects looked like perfect placements.
Theres a bunch more, but most of the pics sucks worse than those.
Take care:
Bill

Is that the one and only Fish Products bouldering pad in inhisfootstep's second photo? As found at a garage sale?

i've been searching for the line worthy of 'monkeyboy direct' for a while now...runners up include 'the monkey has reached the hibachi' and 'twinkletoes and monkeyboy' - reserved for when G finally takes me ice flopping...

Knee Surgery - In SLO in 1991, my first FA after my first surgery.
Plus a few others, like 'that route on Vermillion Dome' and 'that route in pocket meadow - no the other one'.

I suck at naming routes, so most mine are unnamed.
I suck even more at recording and keeping track! One of these days I'm gonna regret not writing things down.
EDIT: My favorite one is "Porn Star Prophet"

Oh yeah, one New Years Eve we were in J-Tree drinking cheap canned beer while climbing new routes. Since I'm a beer snob, I jokingly named one route - Meister Brau Conissueur.
Then on New Years Day, I aided a roof, which seemed so un-JTree to me, and I had that Circle Jerks song running through my head, so I named it - Coup de Etat.

"Ubangi Lips"-- Three Ponds, Deep Creek, Lake Arrowhead California.
"What's A Gerbil Between Friends?"--Three Ponds, Deep Creek, Lake Arrowhead California.
"The Weasel Has Landed"--Indian Cove, Joshua Tree California.
These have been un-reported until now.
None of the others have names.

We're Even
(I tore a piece off of it and the boulder returned the favor by tearing up my legs.)
Mama!
(I was scared.)
Chocolate
(It was a very easy traverse that has you skipping.)
Drama
(It was/is choss and remains not worth doing.)
These use to be all around the back of Santa Paula, CA beyond the Punch Bowl Water Falls. They were boulders that were part of the water slides. Anyway, I went there recently and nothing is left since the big storm in 2005(?). I am still wondering where they went.
Please note that in this same storm, The Tar Creek Boulders that were the size of houses disappeared. Can you imagine?

I like route names that are clever and relevant, though not necessarily to the route.
These are some I put up in Robert Louis Stevenson State Park, can't believe nobody had thought of his book titles (duh)...
