Searching for areas with mixed levels

Hi I need your help! I climb with friends who are definitely definitely at climbing harder routes than myself. While they are very helpful and nice, I would like some suggestions of areas that have a mix of easier (5.9-5.10) to harder routes (5.12-5.14). (I am familiar with Torrent and Left Flank for this.) Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Can you tell me what kinds of routes these areas are like?
for instance, I know Military is by Left Flank...so is the rock pretty similar? And other things that I can relate to are the swiss cheese at Torrent, the iron at Left Flank....
thank you!

forum bot at your service.....plugging your request into my formidable database, the answer to your request is that all climbing at the Red is alike...too many feet, too much chalk...downsize the crimps, put a bit more reach between them, and ...voila...you have a 12a...but never worry, there are always plenty of feet...
SCIN made the best suggestions if you are looking for a kind answer, and not some a-hole bot regurgitating yesterday's complaints....you can also always take a run on your friend's top rope...

You mean Funk Rock...yeah that place is cool...bolted 5.10a to 5.13a. Good trad lines too! Vertical to slightly overhung...One steep 12a. Cool technical climbing contrary to Pigsteaks rants above. Light on the crowds due to a long but easy hike in to the cliff. Check it out on the on-line guide.
Orange Juce 12c, Manic Impression 10a, Prime Directive 11b, Go Easy Billy Clyde 12a, The Infidel 11d, Smoke'n Joe 11b, Hardcore Jollies 12a...all sport...Cruising Lane, Right of Passage & Headstone surfer cool trad lines all classic CHECK IT OUT

I have a question for you? Did you not look at the guide book or the online guide book. That should be enough to give you a clue.
