Good.
This would be a hard onsight, especially without tick marks. I found it harder (and more enjoyable) than Skull. High first bolt, but easy climbing.

Not bad.
Easy, hard, easy. Should have onsighted. Not the easiest 12a at the New, as many have suggested, but the crux _is_ only a couple moves. However, if you're short, it may be impossible.

Great climb-
Glad this got rebolted. Probably more like 12a/b. Crux is pretty height dependent.

Righto.
Nice moves. Can't imagine having to clip the old anchor location.

Great climb.
Sustained, with some long reaches. The crux is very hard to read, but not that bad to pull once you figure it out. Hard to onsight, not as bad to flash.

Yikes.
You can't see the last bolt from on the route (it's back around the arete), which freaks you out, as no one could tell if it existed or not. Plus, one of the hardest moves is high over a pin. Not a bad route if you get to do it on toprope, but the lead was heady enough to make it unenjoyable.

Great line.
Some people call this soft, but only compared to some of the crazy 12b sandbags nearby. It's solid 12 regardless.

Great rock.
If you get your feet right, the third bolt isn't that bad. Great climb.

Nice
Figure out the roof, then enjoy the (short) ride to the top. Stays dry, if you're already at Kaymoor due to rain.

Great exposure.
Do this if you're climbing at Prophesy. Pretty easy for 11b, but you're really up there. Make sure you've got someone on the ground for the best photo op ever.
