Moby Grape, Cannon cliff, NH, 5.8

Tuolumne is a mellow area, I've climbed a few times there and always had a good time.
Is it 10c throughout all the pitches or is it just one 5.10c move on Lucky Streaks?

Haha, and a special mention for Burnsy of River Tower. One of the more hilarious excuses for climbing I've been involved in. HaHa!

Shangri-la in Sedona. How many pitches.... well, in the guidebook its 5 (which I;'ve done it that way). Have also done it as a 3 pitch route and as a two pitch route. Belayed Mike when he did it without the bolts and am now wondering if you can do it as 2 pitches without the bolts.

It has a bit of everything

p1 tips crack but you heel hook and bump up an
arete.
p2: a stunning splitter offset flake
p3: hard tips to powerful wide stems
p4 fingers to tight hands
p5 upto fists

and the position in the canyon can't be beat

As much as I like the International Chimney route on Spire 3 for the perch on top, I'm going to go with the Conn Diagonal behind Sylvan Lake. Maybe it's because of all the different people I've taken up it or all the good times I've had on that route. It sticks out clearly in my mind when I think of fun.

I didn't enjoy the climb that much, so I didn't list it as a favorite, but as a favorite moment with two of my best friends, yeah, that was a memorable three days. Everything about those days, from push-starting the car, to the suddenly shifting rope, to the "Give me slack I'm going to jump" moments, to the tyrolean traverse: that was a fun time.

When is warm enough to climb there? Never been to South or North Dakota, Sounds like you have had some great times. Thanks for Info

Lotta good ones, but I think I'd have to go with Lucky Streaks in tuolumne. 5 or 6 pitches, .10c.

An adventure for sure. "Wait, you're gunna what?" "Slack!"
I've never been more proud of pathfinding then on the way out of there, either.

My favorites list is pretty diverse.

VMC Direct Direct on Cannon
Stoners Highway, Yosemite
Royal Arches to Crown Jewel, Yosemite
Misty Beethoven, Yosemite
Rosy Crucifixion to Italian Arete, Eldo
Yellow Spur, Eldo
Fat City, RMNP
Exum Ridge, Le Grand Teton
Wild Women, Cathedral
Le Ticket, Le Rond, Le Carre, et La Lune, Chamonix
Fafnir, Cannon

To name a few

I'll give a second vote for Lucky Streaks. And I'll add Irene's Arete, 5.8.

On Disappointment Peak--in the Tetons.

That's tough to pick. I guess I'll go with these five in order from most favorite:

Ramblin Rose 5.10a-S. Platte (awesome traverse on an easy flake to some in your face Platte slab climbing. Just really cool moves for a long time)

Fastest Gun 5.10a-Poko-Moonshine (cool climbing with a move where you can just cut your feet and enjoy the exposure, cool style of climbing for me)

Escape Artist 5.10a-Black Canyon (one of my first long multipitch "tens", just one of those cool moments of pushing doubt out of my head on something that was a little runout and at the time difficult for me to conceive of doing)

Center Route 5.9-South Platte (super sustained and bomber jams for a long time makes for a pumpy climb. A really pretty area of the Platte)

Wyrick-Merrel on River Tower 5.6 C2-Moab (although at the time of climbing I was sort of annoyed with the climb because I pretty much lead everything and we had to go back three days in a row for a freaking four pitch climb, we lost gear, and so on, it is one of the most memorable climbs ever aside from the North Face of Nez Perce. I don't want to ruin it but there's ancient hardware galore, nests of tiny gear in crap rock, easy runouts on really dangerous rock, wiggling fixed gear...oh and jumping. For full value I suggest taking someone who's never aid climbed before up it. The look of constant horror alone is worthwhile. Don't go in March either.)

There's more that some have already mentioned: Yellow Spur, Irene's Arete, Full Exum Ridge, Whitney Gilman Ridge, New Era, Kor's Flake, Mainliner, Kor-Ingalls, Fine Jade, too many classics to name. Can't wait for the warm weather again.
