What do you typically carry besides gear/water on multipitch when weight matters?
Headlamp?
Raingear?
Cell phone?
First aid kit?
Descent shoes?
Lip balm?
Picture of your dog?

Headlamp, minimal first aid kit (some butterflies and a couple Vicodin), rain shell, wool hat. Maybe a fleece if it's a chilly day.

as usual: it depends.
multi-pitch cragging: basically what you mentioned + water and a snack
multi-pitch straightforward alpine: same as above + extra food, extra layer and a bivy sack or tarp.
multi-pitch unknown with lots of variables: same as above + sleeping bag or warmer layers, map, compass, iodine tablets
cool... btw.. i've made the mistake of carrying gear for straightforward alpine multi-pitch on a far more serious endeavor. wasn't fun at all at the time.

Unless the pack in question is a haulbag...
A goo, a candy bar, a lighter, and an LED. (My pack = my chalkbag.) If rain gear is prudent, I either pack garbage bag or don't climb. Climbing w/ a pack takes too much of the fun away for me.

Gonna have to go with the usual answer... it depends!
No, it really does depend on the kind of multipitch and length of the climb.
At a place like lover's leap, where the routes are only 3 pitches and you decend down a mellow trail and walk by the base of the climb, I"d say no pack. A little water, nalgene or camelback. SHoes clipped to harness. Food in pockets, and always have a headlamp.
Longer routes that are farther from the trail, you might need more stuff, like an extra layer, a space blanket (for looong days), maybe a small first aid kit, more food.
But the headlamp is the most important thing for most climbs, IMO.

I don't carry a pack either. If it is a long day where I need a lot of water, I bring my 2L camel pack and put a headlamp and some bars in it, and maybe a knife to cut the second loose if they're too slow (j/k). On shorter climbs, I just clip a nalgene to my harness and carry a bar in my pocket.

For 12 pitches at Red Rocks we each had one cliff bar and a liter water bladder in one of these metolius gear sling pouches (which are fabulous), shoes on harness, medium rack, and a single 60m rope.

Nope- I don't have pockets. I carry the prussiks, knife, and headlamp on a biner, the rest fits in a small camelbak that the second carries.

To each their own I suppose. The extra pound per person is worth it in my opinion.

Basic long route package:
Water, head lamp, tape, cheap energy bars
Conditions dependant:
Cheap plastic poncho, fleece
I really really hate carrying shoes. They are bulky and heavy. I generally walk off in climbing shoes or go barefoot.

if weight REALLY matters than i ain't going to take a pack. just a nalgene clipped to my harness, a cliff bar in my pocket and... umm... my keys if i drove i guess.
however, quite frequently a pack can come along with the second without having dire consequences on team speed. and really only for one good reason. "SUMMIT BEERS"
