+1 for routes mentioned above. Also shake n bake, forest lawn & days of future passed. While I haven't done these, others have raved about them: cap'n pissgums and cragaholics dream.

sweet, thanks guys. i should mention that i'm looking for routes that are 5.10 and under. i'm looking to hone my crack technique by getting in as much mileage as possible. southern arizona isn't the best place for cracks unfortunately.
