I'm planning a trip out to E-rock in about a month and a half, and we have webbing, quickdraws, and a 60m rope.
I'm looking for any suggestions on Top-rope or Lead routes that could be climbed with this equipment.
EDIT: anything up to 5.10 is fine, and easier routes can be enjoyable for the rest of my group.

Warm up on TR at Motorboat Rock. Short climbs, but Ben's Dilemma is a fun problem. To the right of MB rock there is a fun little lead .9+??, 2 bolts, on a stand alone spire(sorry. can't remember the name). Head to the backside of the main dome for some great .9-.11 technical slab climbing. Wear pants. The granite will tear up your legs if you fall. I've only been there a couple of times, so that's the extent of my knowledge. Have fun.

There's not too many good leads at E-Rock mostly it's trad and bouldering... If you're looking for a great sport climbing place, not too far away go to Reimers

there is enough to keep you busy. how hard are you looking to climb?
most of the sport is just runout technical slab, other than that, boulder or climb trad
you can toprope at triple cracks (if someone is bold enough to run up the 5.6 slabby dihedral to the anchor above grass crack.
you can climb prosweat 5.9 slab or no sweat a 5.6 and get access to sweat which is a 5.7 crack on the back side
mark of the beast on the backside.
If you have enough webbing you guys can build tr anchors most anywhere that you can boulder up and around.

Turkey peak has a couple of eights and a nine that are short sport climbs. you can also put top ropes on em without leading anything. like someone else said mororboat has several climbs with easy to set up topropes and pro sweat is good. Solo is another 5.8 sport lead in the kingdom of zilch. have fun.

I'd say check out Sean's book if you have the oppurtunity, don't even really need to buy it, flip through the different areas and note which areas have the most routes that suit what your looking for, what people have said already is pretty much it however, it's sport slabs, trad cracks, or boulders with sketchy landings or highballs 
Kyle
What weekend are you going to be out there? I doubt I won't be doing trad, but who knows maybe I'll be in the mood for some slabs, its been a while, quite a while.
