Largo, those are the Sculpture Cracks and the left one is 10c tops.

The worst I got it from JB was probably on 'Steap Thrills' on Low Profile Dome. Woodward, Mariah, Jim Thompson and myself were hanging out at the base eating lunch and we watched 3 different parties try to get on the route. Nobody got the opening moves. In my usual way I was making fun of them when Johnny put me on the spot and suggested I do the thing. Well let me just say that climb wasn't even close to the 11a that John rated it then. I got it clean and Johnny followed it clean but I thought it was damn hard. And the worst part is that the start isn't even close to the crux.

About a year later I was there with another group and none of them could do the opening moves. I went up and did them and then down climbed. There was no way I wanted to lead the real crux of that thing again. I got heckled furiously for my display but I can live with that.
