I would go to the online database and search for routes that have 4 and 5 star ratings.

K.S.B. is a solid 10d, EGBG is a great 10a and Pogue ethics is a classic 9.

Breakfast Burrito is great,  but soft for 10+, just scary as you can't see the bolt below you as you head into the crux.  Fire and Brimstone to the left is solid 10d and even better IMO..

Nobody has mentioned Oompa and Loompa, one is given 10a and the other 10c, but the 10a seemed hard and the 10c didnt seem much harder, both good.

Preemptive strike is also quite good that is next to boltergeist, soft 10C and super fun

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
