Notable Arkansas Climbing Ascents

A recent conversation with a friend led me to want to compile a list of routes or ascents of famous or well-known climbers. I know Arkansas has seen its fair share of well known boulderers pass through, so I would like to limit the list to routes only. The list as of now includes:

1. Jeff Lowe - bolted "Local Legends" at West Pinn

2. Todd Skinner - FA of "Comic Savant" at Mount Magazine and Top Rope FA of what is now "Raspberry Roan" at Red Rock Point

3. Chris Sharma - FA of "Paying the Rent" at Horseshoe

4. Matt Segal - FA of "Starlight" at Ode Hollow

Surely there are more than this, so if you know of any others, please comment.

I know you said routes only, but the Dosage Volume 3 segment and video of Sharma completing Witness the Fitness V15 near Horseshoe is what put Horseshoe on the radar for a lot a folks back in the day:
