5.6 Hard L'Éperon Trad 28m Good
Might be 5.7 if you avoid pulling on the large loose block.

 
5.8 ~5.9 Rive Gauche Trad 25m Very Good
Good climbing, but really hard for5.8, and looks like the gear would be tricky to place, too.

5.7 Hard Momo Trad 25m Very Good

5.9 Relampago Trad Very Good
The hand jams are ok, but there's a lot more finger jams and finger locks on this than hand jams, and they're not-so-ok.

 
5.8 Pourquoi pas ? Trad Average
Went smoother than I expected. I should lead this next time.

5.10b Romulus Mixed trad 20m, 7 Average
Hard start, with an intimidating ledge fall if you don't make the 2nd clip -- I'd be inclined to suggest stick-clipping bolt 2.

Rest of the climb is mellow, with a touch of though needed near the end.

5.9 opening, which could use a bolt, to 5.7/5.8 climbing at the later hard bit.

5.9 Easy Skymaster Trad Classic
Excellent and varied climbing once I achieved the awkward pull onto the start rock. Lots of stemming.

 
5.9 Tiger Moth Trad Very Good
I didn't stem the whole way, so it was about 5.9 the way I climbed. Then, re-climbed the upper section (that I hadn't stemmed) stemming the whole way, and it went fine.

 
5.8 Ivy League Dreams Trad 12m Good
Really it is two short climbs stacked on top of each other. A short climb to a ledge... which you could walk to... then a slightly longer climb above.

 
5.9 Poop Mouth Direct Trad 15m Classic
Interesting and different climbing at different points.
