from the right of these.  The business is getting from bolt 2 to bolt four, laying away past a bulge, but I thought the hardest single move was clipping the third bolt.

Just left of High Tech Sector, there is a flat spot at the base of the cliff.  Above this, there are four short routes.  Tumbling Stocks is the 2nd from the left of these.  It features interesting mantles onto sloping, smooth ledges.  Though it is fairly continuous, there are two crux sections, the first around the 3rd bolt and the second at a short, left-facing corner near the end of the pitch.  Docked a star because the 2nd crux can be avoided by moving about 2' left.

Just left of High Tech Sector, there is a flat spot at the base of the cliff.  Above this, there are four short routes and one slightly longer one on the right.  On the Margin is the leftmost of these.  I haven't done it, I'm just adding it for completeness.

Eds. note, there is a long reach crux around the 4th bolt.

Inflation starts just left of Market Meltdown on the left-side of the cliff. It is the fourth route on the right when looking left to right. Climb up past the first bolt using devious holds. Follow the line of bolts up a short corner to below a steep-imposing headwall. Make a series of hard moves (crux) up the headwall to the anchor. Great climb on excellent rock.

Just right of Buy Gold is a line of bolts leading to a steep headwall on the left side of a blunt arete. This is Buy Low, Sell High. Climb the steep slab up a short left-facing corner past several bolts. Reach a ledge below a steep headwall. Makes several long reaches climbing close to the arete. Power past the crux reaching a ledge and the anchors.

Market Meltdown is located on the left side of the cliff just left of white dyke. Climb up a short crack and follow a line of bolts up a steep wall. Excellent face moves lead to a stance below a roof. Crank over the roof and dance your way to the anchor. Excellent climbing on good stone.

This has an awkward start further left than you think it should be, but ascend jugs and flakes with increasing ease to a ledge at 50 feet.  The climb really starts once you launch into the headwall.  It has nice edges and sidepulls through three bolts then easier climbing for a couple more bolts to the anchors.

Just right of Market Meltdown and a white dyke is a steep smooth face. This is Leading Indicators. Crank up the steep face past several, hard crimp moves. Reach a good rest after the third bolt and take it. After resting, follow the line of bolts up the steep wall on good holds to the anchor. Excellent technical climbing on good rock.

This is not my route, but I enjoyed climbing it. It has lots of variation: ginger start with a steep (not overhung) finish. See what you think.

This is burly for the first three bolts, then you gain a ledge with some easier climbing and a punchy little ending.

Immediately right of

Leading Indicators

is fine warm up route that starts in a shallow corner system. This ascends on a system of big edges and corners to a slab-ramp shortly below the anchor. The climbing was interesting and well-protected, and the rock was essentially bomb-proof. It runs out a bit after the last clip, so watch the footwork.

Just right of High Return, follow steep rock up seam/crack to a ledge. Regroup, then fire up steep wall with difficult moves to the anchor.

This may be the chossiest route at New Economy, so you know it's bad.

Just left of High Tech Sector, there is a flat spot at the base of the cliff.  Above this, there are four short routes and one slightly longer route.  Selling Short is the second from the right of these.  There is short crux between bolts two and three, pulling decent holds over a bulge.  Seemed easier than
