Dusty, for my money, Golden Shower is your best route.

You need to check out evil emperor and gene wilder... you'll dig on nanotechnology too. I'm still partial to bloodline and day tripping tho.

i've raved about 95% of the routes i've done (PERFECT!, BRILLIANT!, etc) so i've got nothing but surplus when it comes to list-making. that said, the following routes stood out to me:

11 > Yellow Brick Road - overhead press to facilitate going up? yes. more please.
12 > Wildfire - your eyes tell you you're climbing hard, but your body knows you're not.
12+ > Jesus Wept - cool bottom section and then plenty of time to ponder the crux section. great potential for heart breaking.
13 > Falls City - short continuous and powerful without being a pocket fest. pretty unique for the red.
13+ > True Love - overhanging crimp ladder? yessssss.
haunted.

You have lost me on the uncool list.

If they are really "uncool" Then Scabies is perfect! But Toxic is a 5 star mega classic !

Scott, I'm saying if you send and spray off the OP's list, it will garner at least a modicum of respect.
The routes I chose for my "uncool" (think the table I sat at in highschool), are all soooooooo good, but they will never let you move up to the popular table.

For my money, I take the uncool list. And I have the spray to prove it.

For "uncool routes" I really liked Cold Shot. At 13a Appalachian Spring is amazing, but Prometheus Unbound is still my favorite so far. It's a better, harder version of Jesus Wept.
