I've got a couple.

For the guy who mentioned fine jade, I agree.

I'll add

1. Lord of the Thais , rai lay beach, thailand (5.12b 5 pitches overhanging) The author says your unlikely to find a better multi pitch route anywhere, I agree. Perfect ledges on all belays. The initial 5.10 and 5.11s are perfect warm ups for the 12a and 12b pitch above, with a 5.10 finish. The 12a is a perfectly smooth very steep wall with only tufas to swing between, you must cut your feet a few times. The 12b pitch starts out feeling like your underclinging the bottom of a 747 and is beautiful climbing.

2. The nutcracker, yosimite valley 5.8, 5 pitches, just super classic.

For bouldering.

1. Hell Belly, moab utah, big bend, perfect feature climbing, almost holdless, just gotta squeeze the belly with hands and feet.

2. Total eclipse, fontainebleau
