-Lichen Delight (and the variation) -Airation -First pitch of Intimidation - do the 'nut trick' and its G/PG. -Screaming Yellow Zonkers is pretty solid 11/11+ but as G as it gets, just go try it, you won't regret it. -Crack in the Woods -Ethereal... maybe. Really small gear. More of a slab climb with micro nut pro. -Sleeping Beauty -Recluse can be entertaining. After you fall off the first few times remember it used to be 9+.

Sweet thanks, I had already my eyes on most of these, just wanted to confirme with ppl on MP that they where good! we could even up the list to include 5.11+ and 5.12- as long as they are G!

SYZ is especially deserving if you are trying to push it. 20 min easy walk in, and you'll have the place to yourself. The Possessed also has great gear (after the easier start) but its f-ing hard.

Budapest at 11+++ is awesome. Approach it via the first two pitches of Diedre. If you know where you're going you can rap in too.

First was a 9+ or so to a cramped belay (this pitch often had a big black snake "resident" in the crack in the early days). 2nd diagonaled up and left - 10+/11-. I imagine they could be linked.

From your list I thought you were referring to it as 5 pitches, but maybe you were talking about Lights in the Forest?

If you're including 11+, then obviously the Prow. 2nd pitch is all bolts, 4th and 5th pitch go at C1 with some small gear and lots of pins. Also, the Possessed is great. Perfect gear, you just have to stop and place it. Super clean falls too since it's overhanging. It's basically sport climbing.
