"Seasonal Employment" stands out in my mind.

Great list Ian. One of my favorite pitches at the City is a mixed line in the Office called Silent Partner (10d). The bottom and top are interesting crack sections. Another one that Adam and I did is Tither's Jam (.11a) on Flaming rock. interesting steep jamming on the 2nd pitch. What's the Castle's list?

Maybe Bombs over Tripoli? (Or whatever that layback/flaring thin crack is called.)

A-rester on Rabbit Rock has some good steep crack climbing. One old pin but you're over your own gear other than that. Feels a bit 5.11ish...

This is a great line, but a sport line. Trying to keep it all trad, or as much as possible.

Even though it's castles gotta put cool crack on the list. Best crack in the 11 range in either park for me.

So my Castle list is a bit shorter but here goes

Bella .12-
souther rock opera .11d
cool crack .11
oatmeal stout .12-
Excalibur .11b/c (bolted top pitch)
Bug City .12b/c
Comp splitter .11-
Requalifier Project (3 bolts, lots of gear in the 100+ ft) ungraded

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
