12. Eleventh Grade Corner, 5.8+

13. Desire, 5.9, overrated

14. Greener Pasturers, 5.9

15. Touch & Go, 5.9, classic

16. One Hand Clapping, 5.9, mega-classic

17. Nova Express, 5.9+, testpiece

18. Black September, 5.9+, wide and serious

19. Bottomless Topless, 5.10a, good TR

Not all of these are classic, but they are the best moderate climbs that Donner has to offer. Donner does have excellent harder climbs in the 5.11-5.13 range.
