I don't remember being too twisted on Sidewinder back when I did it... Although it started raining when I was belaying the 2nd, so I was hunched down in a ball belaying by feel. The 2nd, Jorge (jorgle here) "swam upstream" and cleaned my gear. Kudos to him.
The most gripped I've been was when I was relatively new and leading Roller Ball, .10b, out in J-Tree... I placed two pieces under the small roof, and spent way too much time pulling the roof... When I passed the roof, both legs and arms were shaking violently, and uncontrolably! I was frozen there, just shaking, and I meand badly! My friends were giving me encouragement, saying, "c'mon Adam, you got it!". I was sure I was gonna fall, as I wasn't finished yet, couldn't place any more pro, as I'd have dropped anything I pulled off my harness, so I just kept going, no style, and ended like a beached whale.
When I got back down, they told me they were sure I was gonna fall!
Not on any .11s, like Curt, but the runout .10s in Tuolomne I've been on are a 2nd... Lots-o-pucker factor.
Then there was that time...
