Took a fall clipping the chains of creepshow and hit the ledge way below. Hurt my elbow pretty bad.

Took a big 40-45' whip from the top of Harvest yesterday and somehow managed to get flipped over midway down. Luckily that thing is so steep I got away with only a bruised calf.

sadly, no one can relate to those magnificent routes you mention, cause only 3 people on here can climb that hard.
My vote would be for Gold Rush.

Perhaps we should rename this thread "Subtle Spray"?

Took a whip on the upper flake on Bandolier. Still bugs me that I didn't see the big ass pocket up there.

Naked Lunch is another good candidate. The hardest move on the route is going to the clipping hold at the chains.

Im surprised that nobody has mentioned Vortex at MN Surf. Casual steep jug romp to a beat down crux at the top.

Such a shame too. Vortex and Crucible kick ass.
