Trad Routes

[Dirtyleaf]

What are some recommended trad climbs for a beginning/intermediate trad leader. I've led up to .10a but would like to get really comfortable and solid at anything 5.5-5.9.Any route suggestions?

Givlers Crack 2-pitch 5.8 or 5.7+ (1 move of 5.8)

Nimrod's Nemesis is the hardest 5.5 I've ever climbed.

 

For Smith: Super Slab, Moscow. Lots of shorter stuff in the 5.6-5.8 range at Northern Point and the Student Wall, and on Staender Ridge.

Just climb Godzilla. U can place gear ina different spot every time...and u can climb it a different way each time. Every experience can be new on Godzilla...ahahhahahahahhah

i don't think a new leader should be on the bottom section of godzilla! that's terrible advice!
