most multi-pitch trad under 5.10
by number:
Red Rock, NV
MtnProj shows 256 multi-pitch trad routes 5.0-5.9 from a total of 448 multi-itch trad routes 5.0-5.14c. 57% of multi pitch trad routes are "easy"

by concentration:
EDIT #2: Gunks, NY 201/241 or 83% of multi-pitch trad routes are easy.
EDIT:Seneca Rocks, WV 67 of 82 (81%) multi-pitch routes on MtnProj are easier than 5.10
Lover's Leap, CA
MtnProj shows 39 routes 5.0-5.9 (2+ pitches) and total of 58 5.0-5.14c multi-pitch trad routes. 67% easy routes.

Both places offer really unique fun climbing at all easy grades, with very few featuring scary or awkward pitches in the lower grades. No idea about Seneca or the Gunks, have heard the word sandbag thrown around about those two.

Mount Arapiles in Australia!!! Best cliff in the world!! Classics (actual, real classics not your lastest boulder problem 'classic') at every grade from grade 5 to 35 (Ewbank (sorry)). Anything longer than a 10 min walk in to access is considered to far and not worth the effort. Only an hour from the Grampians where you can get your sport climbing/bouldering fix (if required).

Depends rather on your definition of easy ? 20 isn't easy i'd say

A brilliant crag with a fine camp scene,,but matb not a great area for "easy" climbs

and of course..it's only multi pitch if your hung over ....a distinct possibility

Why do people start threads that they never check in on?

Linville Gorge in NC isn't bad you got one spot with 4 500ft climbs that are 5.6 and under. Another spot with multi 5.4-5.8 two to three pitchers.

Could it be that I had the very same thought about you?

Actually, I'm glad to hear that you have been looking in, though one doesn't know unless you acknowledge all the helpful contributions that others have been putting out. Some have even asked for feedback on your skill level, etc., with no response. Help them help you. Just sayin...

Never been to Seneca but RR has about 30 crags w topos stacked like that. RR is the Indian creek of multi pitch. But the camping blows.
