Jackson is -probably- your best bet for easier routes. There are quite a few newer moderates that have gone up and are covered in the newest edition of the guidebook. That being said I haven't climbed at Draper's or Cedar in a long time and they may have had a corresponding number of moderate routes added. But by quantity of rock alone, Jackson should have the most.
Spleef Peak has 3 (maybe 4) 8's and 9's on it that are really nice well bolted routes. It can get crowded on the weekends however, and if those routes prove a little too easy you can always give Master Marley a try (10a). I'd also personally recommend Slugman (10a) and Brief Respite (5.8) Slugman is in a nasty wet dark corner, but if you can complete the first long reach or dyno the rest of the climbing is pretty moderate. I have ended almost every climbing trip by doing Brief Respite it's slabby and has a fantastic view from the top.
Hope all goes well
