(especially if the winner is 11 time zones away) If it were not for me, the forum would not be very cosmopolitan Fair point though, multiple options coming your way. If I get any more of these.

Yeah, I googled after to see if I was right. Can't wait 12 hours for yall to come back online. Ergo, I can't participate further.

Since you're giving away the answer.... 5.12b? These next two may be too easy: Bain de sang Belly full of bad berries
Ten years ago or so, I remember staring up at Bain de sang and thinking that even if I could climb that grade, I wouldn't want to climb that route. It seems like a very apt name.

Belly Full of Bad Berries, 5.13d, Indian Creek. Unsure of the FA.

Is that 9a? That or 9a+? I want to say Fred Nicole is the FA, someone Swiss. I don’t know the crag.

Correct, great detective work. Both routes are in Zion National Park. Monkeyfinger is a classic Jeff Lowe route. It’s a great training route for aspiring big wall free climbers and a right of passage for us. Think of it like the Astroman of Zion (most people French free it at 5.11b, or at least they did ~20 years ago). Organasm is a sick roof hand crack on The Organ, right at the base of Angels Landing. You have to Ford the river to get to it, otherwise it would be super popular. I don’t know the FA.
