Most of them are just numbered...Crack #6, Crack #3 etc, but they're longer, more sustained, equal or better rock quality, and I've never seen other people there.
Agreed, with the exception of Wedlock. Damn that climb *shakes fist*

has winds of whoopee been mentioned? that climb rocks, and is way better than many on these lists. so is flaring rhoid! what a great couple of climbs that make for a good start of the day. then move to magnetic woose, roberts crack, and then pick one more to finish a great day. you will be getting tired for the last climb...

the colossus of rhoids had no stars in "the book" until the most recent one, and it is awesome.

and again, for those that want a little wyde, good, the bad, and the ugly is a good moderate to begin learning that skill. but it aint anywhere near the top 20...

Wedlock is neither in that corridor nor 5.9/10a.
