hmmm...you might consider purchasing the guidebook for sale on this very site titled "Yosemite Ultra Classics".
If you don't want topos for the routes you plan on climbing, you can atleast see a large list of classics organized by grade at the page above.

i could do that...but it costs money...which i dont have. it would also take time to look through and having you delve through your experiences saves me time and brings back good memories(hopefully).

Yosemite hopeful - what a worthless piece of sh#t you are. Can't buy a guide, don't have the time to look through a copy at the Mtn. shop - you just want everything handed to you, don't you you ignorant f*#k? What's the matter with you - your gay lover left you and now you're turning tricks behind dumpsters in Fresno to scrum up enough $$$ to climb in the valley and act all bitchin? Get a life and stay home nobody wants to see you.

TradwithNOlife- holy christ dude, shut up. did you not read the post where dude said he wanted experiences.. instead, you vomit your fecal, er, grey matter on the guy who just asked a question. You were so obscene that you aren't even believable in your hate and sound more like a literate donny or an english speaking paco, which you probably are. Yes, I'm anonymous, KMA.

KMA f*#k you. He wanted experiences...sure he wanted that, but he also wanted info readily found in a guidebook...you know you asswipe...books - or are you really as stupid as your vacuous stare indicates? My hatred? Yes for pathetic subhuman turds like you I am. Why don't you invite him climbing so you can felch on belay ledges. Give me a break and KISS MY ASS you f*#king worthless sack of sh#t. Thought you were clever didn't you? You probably blow the valley rangers to promote access...

Nice list JJ. Midterm is 10b, all time classic. Don't miss Gripper, and the first three pitches of New Dimensions (10b, 10a, 10a). Hardd is 11b (first pitch 11a).

I certainly didn't mean you should buy a guidebook you can't afford. However, lists of classic Yosemite 5.10 and unders can be found all over the place with just a little bit of searching.
As I mentioned, the list of climbs included in Yosemite Ultra Classics is good.
Tuan has a good one as well...

Jam Crack 5.7/5.9, follow the crowds.
Bishops Terrace 5.8, follow the beta page and do it in one pitch.
Reeds Direct 5.9/10a, be preparded to be schooled.
Ejesta 5.8, good route, no crowds
Positivley 4th Street, watch for posion oak on the approach.
Key Stone Corner 5.8, you'd be a fool not to toss a rope on five and dime.
Highway Star 10a, you can top rope this one.
There are lots more, this should get you started.

Hello dork, because I'm feeling sorry for you, I'll cut you some slack. Felch on belay ledges? Blow rangers for access? I wouldn't want your sloppy seconds, even if I didn't blow. These homophobic references make me wonder about you... If you need to practice your 'access' you can always look me up, I like 'em fiesty... otherwise, climb back into your trailer, crack a natty ice and shut the f*#k up.

Somebody who is requesting climbs 5.10 and under probably shouldn't be getting recommendations like
Twilight Zone (for Hardman chubby-chasers)
10.96 (burly)
Hard (hello, 5.11)
Steppin' Out (rapped past it after doing independence pinnacle center, looked like the hardest 10d I'd ever seen)
Maybe 10d is too hard in general for somebody who wants 10 and under, but at least recommend the 10d for mortals like Serenity Crack
PS. Not knocking JJ. Thanks for the list, there's a couple there I haven't done and will put on my list

KMA- Well you certainly are a wealth of knowledge - a little too well actually. Cut me some slack ha! F*#K YOU you worthless excuse for a human being. Not surprised you care for the rangers company - so you actually admit to it. Now your true worthlessness is exposed. When I see you I'm gonna put a bullet in your head motherf*#ker...so choke on this. To the Yosemite hopefull go get your own f*#king experiences you poser, mine aren't for you to know. Everyone else, why patronize this imbecell? Let him go to the Valley and figure it out for himself. What's next gear lists for every friggin route so it's color by numbers? F*#k! What the f*#k? F*#k all you f*#king f*#kers, go f*#king f*#k your f*#king selves.
