Me on top of Cleo's needle.
left face of Queen's tower. Between the Queens climbs on or just left of the corner according to the guide books. I've chosen to draw it just left of the corner, but you'll have to use the corner now and then if you want to keep it at 5.9.

Missing Link wall.
Curved Wall, Mickey and Minnie routes. Both Knower and Swartling/Mayer describe 2 variations of Curved Wall, a 5.8 that starts at the slightly overhanging corner and crack, and a 5.7 that starts at the crack 6' farther left near the descent gully.
Hang Dog, Big Roof. Burt has posted nice pics of 2 variations of Hang Dog. The line shown in this view of Hang Dog is the harder of the 2 lines using the "main crack".
The Plank, Big Roof
Barn Door wall. There's several ways to get up to the Barn Door ledge and the start of the upper crack - one is to walk left of the start shown here, then just before you fall off the ledge, start climbing.
