Dana,
I have Sept. 10 - 14 off and after that much exercise, I might be sick for another day of climbing. I have done the routes you mention but would be ok with repeating them. They are good routes.

Best 5.8 at Frenchman Coulee: George and Martha.
Yeah, I know that the book says it's 5.10, but lots of us have climbed 5.8s at Leavenworth that are lots harder.
The green range is a "go" from a marketting standpoint. Those are the placements that become "fixed". Then you need to buy another to replace it.
That said, cams placed in that range are the most secure. And when I get concerned on lead, guess what my placements look like.
I take the "Move Free" formulation of glucosamine/chondroitin for relief from a comminuted fracture of the talus [ankle] in which the inferior-lateral portion of the joint surface crumbled away. I am pain-free unless I miss taking "Move Free" for several days, then it starts to ache. The stuff works really well for me.
Plaque can spread and should be removed before it becomes a really bad problem. Does anyone know a dental hygienist that climbs, or can at least jug, or with nice jugs and a good attitude.
Sorry, but while you were sleeping (or was that while you were purchasing NW Forest passes, BLM parking passes, Fish and wildlife parking passes, etc., etc.,etc., etc., etc.,) your public lands were taken away.
