The list could get quite long ... just at mt I assmue? I do Glory Rodent, White Heat and Copyright a lot but that probably reflects my preferred style - they do have plenty of gear though. I think Hidden Secrets is the most user friendly 22 at the Mt. I do Squeakeasy a fair bit, but it helps to know about the gear on the first hard bit (skip this if you don't want beta - there's a red alien in one of the shallow pockets and a 1 rock behind the hold out right). Straw Dogs. Starless and Bible Black, Wall St (not that this is user friendly, it's burly gas but has gear and I like it). I'd normally put Cecilia on the list, but I did get spanked by it this summer :( There'd be more if I thought about a bit longer.

Just to clarify some not-hidden, not-gems at 22 from the select guide - Furry Bathtubs is grotty, with poor rock and poor gear and Fingersmith is a mossy slab traverse with old carrots (unless anyone has thought it worth replacing them recently)
