Brian in SLC's list is solid, I'd add Wheels on Fire, After the Fall and Hand Jive.

BCC climbs that have gear but sport climbing movement: All the stuff at Bumble Bee Wall, with Sin Nombre as the best. I also like Hibatchi Time and Salmonella for this reason.

LCC: Second for Touch Up. 3 Amigos, S-crack to S-Direct if you're willing to aid the hard parts. Honery Ms Garrett, Rodeo Girls in Bondage and Dragon Arch are fun. Betty's Altered Elbow, Blue Collar Crack, Scallywaggers and Under Pressure (for single pitch) and all those multi-pitch lines in Tanners.

Essentially all the 9's and 9+'s in the Green A Gully.

S-Direct is my number 1, Coffin, Green A, After the Fall, First 4 pitches of Stiffer's Mom (I think it's 5.8 but who cares), Sasquatch, En Passant, Gordan's.  

Best 5.9 = Godzilla or P3 of Rattletale Index, WA.  Whenever you come to visit we'll jump on those!!  Have fun buddy!!  Seriously though hike up to The Pawn you won't be let down.

I also like Brian Cabe's list, add Half a Finger, and for sure - Narcolepsy in BCC as it was originally done (only 5.8?).

In BCC at Narcolepsy area Chimney sweep is a pretty rad climb.

Search function helps here.  Wasatch 5.9 - 5.10a trad

I included 10a because they may be indistinguishable from 5.9.

Others: Smitty's, MA #1, Disco Duck, Plumb Line, Lisa's Shoulder, High Dive, Call Me Slim, Margin for Air, Glenlivet.

Final Link after Crescent Crack... (If you're saying it's not a trad climb, why do you have a full rack of gear on then?)

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
