A fun bouldery bulge move to the first clip leads to thin, balancy slab climbing above.  This first move will be distinctly harder for shorter folks.  A good footwork intensive climb. (Comment on name and info and I'll update)

Corner Drug

Yikes, this anti classic has it all. Bad rock, poorly placed bolts, a bad belay stance, an outdated anchor, and is a pain in the ass to get to.

Climb up crimps and huecos to a rail above the second bolt. Be extremely careful getting to the third bolt as it involves pulling the crux over serious deck potential. It definitely needs another bolt/ a rebolting but nobody else should go up there.

Avoid this one.

climbs obvious dihedral feature, share first 2-3 bolts with "Mezmeree", great moves and feels a little like a granite crack, kind of steep down low

last route on the wall, to the very right, better 5.11's to climb at Sinx, dusty and sharp, go ahead, snoop around

climb up the first three bolts of "corner drug", traverse left as for "drug enemy", head straight up and encounter crux, crimps to sidepull to gastons and pockets, could be height dependent.  Might be .12c/d

Super classic.  I can't get close to describing how fun it is, unless I were to pantomime the beta with childlike abandon.  Obviously, to do it justice you must climb it!  Addiction features a swift bout of crimpy climbing, followed by long power moves on positive holds and finally some more intricate 'keep you honest' climbing to the anchors.

steep and bouldery climb just to the right of "corner drug", mono pulls, good climb

This decent line climbs up a fun right leaning flake before tackling the slab above.  Two lines of progress exist after the 2nd clip.  Either continue up to the right on the flake as it peters out, or delicately climb left (psychologically taxing leaving the large flake for the tiny feet and handholds of the face).  Eventually all lines merge on the slab climbing to the anchors.  The grade may be 5.8 or 5.9.  (Comment on name/FA/grade and I'll update).

Left of Corner Drug.  Starts with a really hard slab for about 3 bolts, then finishes with a steeper section on pockets.  Not done too often due to the cruxy slab start.

just to the left of a prominent dihedral feature "soul finger", climb a prow of sorts with some bouldery moves

Dogs of War has scads of 5.12 climbing with a very bouldery crux on crimps buried in the mid-height on the climb.  A jug allows a shake before the crux. Two variations on travel exist after the crux 1) either directly right into Pretty Hate Machine (13b/c), or 2) up before more slowly merging w/ PHM.  The 2nd version involves a few more stout pocket cranks than the 1st.  The final few clips of Dogs of War are shared with Pretty Hate Machine and involve more pocket climbing on the final bulge.  Possible softer than 13b variation 1) and likely 13b for 2).

just to the left of Addiction, continous crimps on somewhat greasy rock, good movement

Really good climb, maybe the best 5.13- at Sinks, IMO.  Continuously harder than Dogs of War and shares the exit with that route.  Expect small pockets and edges with smeary feet.  Not much rest until after the crux at about 2/3rds height.  There is a large rest high on the wall that seems loose, but has been there for the last 20 years.  The exit is probably 12- but feels much harder when pumped.

This combo line is quite fun. Climb the lower crux of Corner Drug through four bolts. Shake out. Clip the bolt far out left with a permadraw, and make the easy but airy hand traverse left into Public Enemy (12b/c). Climb up into the left of two bolt lines for the classic moves on the upper cruxes of Public Enemy. You'll make moves off of flakes and pockets. One of the pockets up in there is a good mono - while you are on good feet. I'd peg this around 11d/12a, it could feel either way.

One route right of Pretty Hate Machine. Long moves on crimps for the first two bolts, then a couple of pocket moves to get to the 3rd. A neat sequence brings you up to the fourth bolt, using a series of right hand side pulls. Pause on a pocket past the 4th, then a small crimp and a right hand mono get you to the fifth. A long draw helps on this bolt. One more hard sequence to the 6th bolt on a sloping rail with the right and a friable left hand side pull. The finish is not hard, but the holds are difficult to find.

There are some pretty sharp holds on this route, and a few things that look like they may break off if yarded on too hard. However, the movement is good and it's a fun sprint. Good trainer for power/endurance on gently overhanging rock. Not as good as PHM and a little bit harder, but definitely as good as Dogs.

very bouldery route just to the right of "white dwarf", get ready to pull

Another great dihedral climb at Sinks.  This moderate line is a relatively new addition to the area (comment on details and I'll add).  This well bolted line is perfect for new leaders.

This line climbs the left leaning dihedral on laybacks and a few pockets and edges.  The hardest moves move up and left over a bulge at 3/4 height.  Fun hand-traversing to the left lead to the chains from here.  Careful of climbers immediately below on the two face lines.  A little short for a 3 star route, but great climbing for a 5.7 at Sinks.

Climb the first three bolts of Soul Finger, put an alpine draw on the fourth (or backclean, or just skip it), and move right onto the face after the broken block for another ~5 bolts.

The crux of Corner Drug comes early, but pumpy climbing up high stops other climbers in their tracks.  Climb on the polished jugs, pockets, and edges up the obtuse dihedral.  Pass a crimpy crux after the 2nd bolt. Rest on the ramp above before heading up the pocketed dihedral above. The most obvious line swerves right for a few bodylengths of climbing before rejoining the dihedral near the anchors.  It is popular and fairly polished, as well as steeper than it first appears.
