Cape Croker also has some good sport climbing in the 10-12 range. It is listed under "Indian Ladder" in the old Escarpment guide book and for some reason is not included in the sport guide book.

Note on climbing at Lion's Head:
Take it seriously. You are mostly rappeling in to hanging belays.
Have a plan if you can't finish the climb. Have a plan if you go down the wrong line. Have a plan if you fall off near the bottom and you're haging in the abyss with the rock our of reach. Leave a rap line.
As you rap in pre-clip the first bolt, on many routes the crux is right off the belay and falling before the first bolt will result in a factor 2 fall (and some devices like the trango cinch aren't rated for a factor two).
Also note that many of the bolts are in piss poor condition and many of the routes a bolted badly and can be run out.
Lion's head is really not the kind of place to push your limits.
