Deimos
Ever bit as good as Phobos. When you combine Phobos and Deimos, it makes for a great day of climbing. With Kevin from Las Vegas, I led all the pitches. The chimney move through the large crack might be the best part. The best belay is right below that huge chockstone. The second pitch is a bit squirrelly in comparison, making you run out right and then back left, but easy climbing. The last pitch has a bolt and you wonder why until you are face climbing right at it with a ledge below. Kind of a reachy move and perhaps the crux of the route.

Not as fun as Phobos
but not a bad warm-up. First climb for the Tuolumne 2011 trip. First roof was tough for me, I got tunnel vision and stayed in the crack for too long.

A little bit
more wide stuff on this one compared to Phobos and some roof moves to negotiate as well. Remember that face climbing around crack features is encouraged. I can't imagine getting through the upper crux without the bolt...

Don't remember when
Was OK, but was missing the bolt in the topo, which made the last pitch fairly heady for me at the time.
