Call for hill ideas

For 2008 I would like to take out some of the easier climbs and add some more difficult ones. As I see it, the 6 tough climbs that I would definitely leave in are La Collina, Righter's Mill, County Line, Hart's Lane, Port Royal and the Manayunk Wall. I would definitely like to add Delhaven St. off of Balligomingo Rd and Bryn Trydden behind the Spring Mill Country Club. I am also considering Pleasant Ave. in West Conshohocken and I am interested in including a couple climbs in the Valley Forge area. Any ideas?

Rough outline for 2008:

#1: La Collina
#2: Righter's Mill
#3: Bryn Trydden
#4: Pleasant Ave.
#5: County Line
#6: Climb in Valley Forge?
#7: Climb in Valley Forge?
#8: Delhaven St.
#9: Hart's Lane
#10: Port Royal
#11: Valley Green Rd?
#12: Climb in Manayunk?
#13: Manayunk Wall
