Tulgey Wood, Devil's Tower. 5.10a/b? Great variety of climbing in a full rope length. Tree close enough to bottom to anchor rope for Soloist.

Either New Diversions (5.10)at Whitesides Mtn., NC. (A runout 10 pitch monster with the ninth pitch totally unprotected but only 5.3)
OR
Fat Dog (5.7) at looking glass, NC. It's just a long chimney/offwidth, but it rocks.

Corrugation Corner (5.7) at Lovers Leap. I can't imagine a 5.7 being any more exposed or steep than this one (because of the nature of the formation at Lovers Leap). Super Sweet.

Try High E or Ecstasy, I seem to recall Corrugation Corner being less steep than either. (I've climbed all 3 over the years) My memory could be failing me (we did smoke someone else's weed that night), and High E is ''only'' a 5.6, but the point remains...

Snake Dike on Half Dome in Yosemite. Beautiful approach, easy but runout climbing in a sea of granite, wonderful views from the top. A classic route in every sense.
Tied with:
Southeast buttress of Cathedral Peak in Yosemite. Beautiful alpine climbing, mostly 5.6 on blocky granite, with a summit of over 12,000 ft. Top out at the right time and you can see your shadow cast on Tuolumne Meadows.

Loved High Exposure at the Gunks. Super exposure and excellent ledges. Lovers Leap is on my climbing hit list though. I haven't been on Ectasy yet at the Gunks. Madame G's is another excellent climb for exposure at the Gunks. However, I was benighted at the top and it is a long walk in the woods with cigarette lighters to get to the Uberfall. Too dangerous to rapel in the dark. Next year I'm going to the Gunks at least every other weekend and want to get at least one long New Hampshire trip in there too!! A three day weekend with rain just doesn't cut it for New Hampshire.
