Bump!

I think a worthy linkup is Texas Tower Direct to Texas Hold'em

I think that Texas Tower Direct is best climbed at 12a A0 taking the easier variations with 1 point of aid. I've heard this called Texas Tower Lite

This keeps the whole linkup at 12a with tons of 5.11 climbing!!

D7 on the Diamond should be on the list.

After having climbed it, the Original Route and Rainbow Country in Red Rocks make the list.

The Bachar Yerian is quite good. It's five pitches. If you count the approach pitch to the ledge it meets the 6 pitch minimum set by the OP.

I'll also add another vote to the Original Route on Rainbow Wall.

For 5.11- it's a toss-up between Sunshine Crack on Snowpatch Spire in the Bugaboos and Positive Vibrations on The Incredible Hulk.

That looks like Primrose Dihedrals on Moses to me.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
