gymnastic routes that aren't likely to snap their pulleys ... I'm primarily interested in the 7c to 8a+ ish range....
All holds non crimpy or just predominantly and not on cruxes? If the former,then give up now, it aint gonna happen.
Raindogs is the obvious one.Loads at Cheedale Cornice e.g. Jug Jockey, Roof Warrior, Powerplant (especially with kneebar),
Fair dos, although I would counter by saying that if anyone is wincing at the "crimpy" headwall on Powerplant perhaps Chris' advice of getting injuries fixed is a better idea! Obviously it is nice to climb through these things if you can, but as abarro has rightly said earlier - not in Britain!
Call me a monkey smoking crack, but surely addressing the issue of why your fingers are so fucked and trying to do something about it might be a good idea rather than carrying the injury whilst trying to climb for a year?

What did you break in your foot? (sorry, I know...)
It might be worth taking a hard look at how you're training and why you're getting injured. If you are just really prone to finger injuries then maybe drop training as a priority and just go out instead wherever possible. Its a ball ache staying motivated after several finger injuries in quick succession and training hard open handed might just lead to a different kind of injury. Just my 2p though.
t the routes I enjoy most by far are the ones with exciting, gymnastic moves and not the ones where the cruxes involve crimping right up to the pain threshold. I'm naturally interested in compiling a list of routes that fit my criteria as 'fun routes'.
