Flaming rock West face: Tribal Boundaries (probably the best .10a at the City) also pretty good is Firewater (.11b) just downhill from TB. Bath rock has shade and 3 great routes: Collosus(.10c), Lochness Monster (.11b) and Gemini (.12a) Window rock West has the awesome Shes the Bosch (.11b and somewhere around 18 bolts!!) 2 ropes needed. Lost World West has The Drilling Fields (awesome .11b and very steep) and Pigs on a Wing (.11a to the right) Parkinglot Rock: Cairo (.11a arete on the cover of the old book) great route. also Thin Slice (.10b finger and hand crack) to the left. Morning Glory Spire has one of the best .11s at the City (Strategic Defense .11c) but you might want a couple pieces to reach the 1st bolt. Elephant rock has Pygmies got Stoned (good .10a) and Pretzel Logic (.10c) you might want a large cam to avoid a moderate runout on this one. hope this helps ... many, many more... but these are my favorites in this range of SPORT climbs.

What up Phly? I was going to see if you wanted to go climbing this afternoon, but I'm sure you'll have alot more fun at the city. I reccomend the following-though there are plenty of other killer routes (exuse me for routes I can't remember the names of-consult the guidebook for final say): Elephant Rock-Just say go 5.9 Strawberry somethin?-really cool 10a bolted slab w/ edges-pretty much the first route you come to. Farther to the right there is a good 10a on a semi-detatched pillar up high-good route stick clip the first bolt off the ledge if you can. Roller Coaster Wall/Bath Rock- Collossus 10c-AWESOME To the right of collosus one or two routes is a challenging 11b that goes up a neck-like feature that is pretty good. At the far right of the wall is a good kinda-steep juggy 5.10 with only 3 or 4 bolts up high. Good-route used to not have any bolts. Flaming Rock- Tribal Boundaries-10a often crowded Fire Water 11b-good and pumpy 10c- next to the 11b, good too Slabbage Patch- I can't believe it-10a really cool rock deez guys-10a overhung and juggy, down the hill from I can't believe it The Drilling fields- The 11b on the left is AWESOME-juggy and slightly hung-way better and easier than the 11a to the right. shouldn't be very crowded. Morning Glory Spire- The 10c just right of skyline is killer Parkinglot Rock- Just another pretty face 10d is good and slabby Cairo 11a is good and thin Window Rock- She's the Bosch 10d/11a is a 16 bolt marathon that is really cool Oddyssey wall oddyssey 10a Boxtop- 10a is pretty good, haven't done the 11a. Who are you going with, anyone I've met?
