I have never climbed in the area before. Looking for some interesting multi-pitches or some good staples of the area around 5.9-5.10a I will be checking out the guide book but wanted some first hand advice as well. Thanks. JB
I can't speak from personal experience, but I have been told that Nevermore is an excellent route that would fit your credenitals.

Most of the trad climbing here (I assume that is what you are asking) multipitch wise are below 5.10, Nevermore is supposed to be a good route, I have never personally been on that one. Andrew is right that you should def sample some of the sport here. It doesn't get its reputation for nothing. However other fun multipitch climbs, are Eagle point, Buzzards roost, Jewel Pinnacle, Fotress wall (bedtime for bonzo and others) and Tower rock. All well below the grade you asked but none the less quite fun. Most multipitch here is really a 2-3 pitcher depending on how you deal with rope drag.

You can clip into any bolt and start a new pitch from a hanging belay. Say, on AWOL or some similar route. That way, you can make all the routes multipitch. Sunshine and moonbeam are both short 3 pitches a piece. Or...you could go to Red Rocks, NV or el Potrero Chico and climb some actual multipitch?
Hauling a big ego up a route adds at least a full grade.
