Main Crack at Minnehaha (originally rated 5.4) is an exciting and challenging climb for the grade. Usually toproped, I'm not sure why it's not led more often. Convenience, I suppose. Midway at Castle Rock (also originally rated 5.4), mentioned by Mighty Hiker, was a big deal for me when a friend and I tried it, switching leads, after we'd only been climbing a few months. The North Ridge of Stuart was another standout 5.4, BITD. I can't recall anything in particular \leq 5.5 in Little or Big Cottonwood, but there are a number of good 5.6s, like Steorts' Ridge and Schoolroom.

Have I EVER climbed 5.5 or below?
I USUALLY climb 5.5 or below!
Nearly all of the routes at our local multi pitch crag top out with a pitch of 5.4-5.6 run out face. Here we are this weekend finishing the final pitch of Nuts and Bolts, a fantastic 4 pitch route up at Tollhouse.
(Climbers are Mark Hudon and Macronut)

Couldn't find any photos but 11 mile canyon has some great multi pitch routes at 5.5 and under.

Great Arch is in North Carolina and listed as 5.5...
... probably 5.9 with NC sandbag factor employed...

Easy climbs rock! My main man John and I did a multi-pitch 5.5 on Spearhead in RNMP and thought it was one of our most stupid-fun days in the park ever. I would repeat that one in a heartbeat. In my dotage long (or short) walks to easy climbs in an alpine setting are just the bees knees.

Sh#t, I just reset to climbing around 5.5s in Devils Lake. Cleopatra's Needle has at least four named 5.4s to the wobbly block on top -- and I finally got up on it.
