I really really love this type of climbing and would like suggestions for routes that are similar. I know that the top of Strickly's and the tops of classic/Jackie are but anything else? I was told Pink Laurel.

grades up to 10b? to keep them civilized for my level of leading.

Jake, I assume you're looking for steep cruisers with nice holds? Some have longer sections off steepness than others, and some are steeper than others, but all are fun.

Off the top of my head for the Trapps:

Strictly from Nowhere (obvious?), Higher Stannard p2 (steep, easy face), Madame G's, Hawk, Classic (couple moves in the roof), Ursula p2 (steep, easy face), Hans Puss p1, Modern Times, Beetle Brow Bulge, Frog's Head, Keep on Struttin' (the 5.9 version of Modern Times), Doubleissima (sustained and steep), Redicullissima (sustained and steep)...and that's just the Trapps.

That's a wide variety of climbs with steep sections on them (not just a roof). Maybe others will have different opinions. I like steep climbing, and enjoyed all of those routes. Maybe you've already done these and can comment.

Steep juggy cruisers.....staying in the Trapps, maybe Red Cabbage Right, p1 of Erect Direction, or p2 of Pas de Deux. If you include corners, Baby, or Ant's?

There's a forgotten old classic called The High Exposure with an underrated second pitch. It goes up a steep-to-overhanging face with great juggy holds. It is traditionally led in sneakers with three points of protection.
