The Dromedary Direct is a good route,hands fingers and OW.(8in.pro.) Wild Thing is also good,AKA Wide thing.After traversing off the Folly,best to take the first set of cracks to top,hands and fingers,Then lip travers left,heal hooking to horizontil finger crack,(5.10)then rejoin the original route.This bypasses the canoe sized death block on the original route(scary loose) and makes for some fine climbing.Good wide climbing above.Wet till late spring/summer.Bring several 6 to 8 in. pieces for last 3 pitches. Washington Column Direct is a good, moderate route.There is a good description of it in the Roper Guide.Be careful of getting off route on the first traverse,(easy to miss),and travesing to the Great Chimney,(also easy to miss).Many off route trafic marks and old slings make route finding dificult sometimes.The Last pitch exit is also tricky to determin the best way to go.

Nine Lives Continuation-this adds some length and sport to the route,steepens up at the end with a mantle up high. The Verde and The False Verde are the same route.Good climbing,knob tieoffs on first pitch,fist crack/lieback on second pitch.Careful of very loose block(s) at end of second pitch.

ablegable has Verde and False Verde the same, though the guides list different FA's (False Verde FA 1974 Bob Finn and Don Reid).

Thanks again to all who have helped out with additional beta on these climbs!

The topos for False Verde & Verde are the same,the first ascent credits are different.Topos are on pg#67 in Meyers/Reid(1987) and on pg#59 in Reid book(1994).

Apparently these are mostly routes listed in the FA section
of the 1994 guide, but not in its index?
I look forward to seeing your index when it is ready.

Key to references:

Roper = Roper, "Climber's Guide to Yosemite Valley", 1971
M = Meyers, "Yosemite Climbs", 1982
MR = Meyers and Reid, "Yosemite Climbs", 1987
R = Reid, "Yosemite Climbs - Free Climbs", 1994
Cxxx = Climbing magazine #xxx, 1988-91
CWL = Chapel Wall Left (in closed area left of Colors - Reid p.375);
six of these routes are on a topo on p.34 of Climbing #129,
although the topo appears to have some route names mislabelled
page number is indicated as: M.25 = Meyers, 1982 p.25

 An original A4 horror route; Robbins took 10 hours to lead the crux pitch,
 including 3 falls; one a 50-footer. Poor pro and bad anchors, too; Kor
 was scared when repeating it with Pratt.

 probably this is the 5.11d toprope on R.324
Shot in the Dark, A Elephant Rock 1978 Rob Ramey Nick Badyrka
 I should be receiving a topo and description in the mail for this shortly;
 I'll post when I get it. So far, it sounds like it is in the RFC right
 of Worst Error Right Side, and that the first pitch should not be cleaned, due
 to nesting swifts.

True Grit Eagle Creek Area: Manure Pile Buttress 1974 Dave Altman Will Crljenko
Vegmite The Rostrum 1989 Elliot Robinson Greg Murphy
 Vegemite, 5.10+
 Consider the photo on MR.369 or R.331. Vegemite climbes the shaded RFC, left
 of the Rostrum, but just right of the shaded wall where Dime Bag and Crack the Whip
 are shown. It finishes in a cleft left of the corner system, which can be seen
 just above the upper roof band. This info is from either Greg or Elliott,
 back when the route was done.
Verde Cascade Falls Area 1975 Bruce Pollock Jim Bridwell Jim Pettigrew
 Most likely, Reid thought he had repeated Verde when he published the topo on MR.67,
 then found out later that Verde is further left, so he renamed what he had climbed
 to be False Verde in R.59.
Waltzing Mathilda The Rostrum Area 1992 Greg Murphy Elliot Robinson
Watkins Gully p164 Roper'71 Mt. Watkins 1946 Robin Hansen Fritz Lippmann Rolf Pundt
 Roper.164 as you noted. I presume you want to know the rating. It looks like it is
 going to be something like 5.7 A2. But probably you will have to go and do the route
 to find out for sure....
Werner's Oversight Swan Slab 1972 Mark Moore Dave Hitchcock
West Corner Half Dome 1961 Bob Kamps Dave Rearick
 Roper.178
Wharf Rat The Royal Arches: Base
 R.181 (are you looking just for the FA info now?)

Wild at Heart Glacier Point Apron 1990 Mark Spencer
 R.232
Wrinkle Chapel Wall 1972 John Bragg Rab Carrington
Zap the Gipper Glacier Point Apron 1985 Scott Cosgrove
 Perhaps this is the alternative 2-bolt right start to Jack the Zipper, R.232
 MR.288 only shows the left start
