Re: Name Your Fav
Zeus at Moores Wall in North Carolina is amazing. Steep, long, difficult, great movement, and super exposed as it starts on a ledge 150 feet above the ground after a big up hill hike. You are sport climbing 500 feet above your car on perfect stone.

Strike a Scowl at the New - awesome exposure at a bend in the river, great stone and pretty good movement.

I am going with Mr Natural on Glacier Point Apron. Best finger crack I have ever done.

Freshly Squeezed at Maple Canyon. Awesome boulder problem and holds!
Re: Name Your Fav
It sounds like I need to start doing more trad climbing because that seems to be more memorable to most folks. I hope to make Inhibitor my most memorable and favorite, but it's not yet because the only time I tried I got less than half way up.
My personal favorite sport route is still "You Take Sally." I liked the moves the whole way up, I like that it went a long way up, and I liked the final crux move being just about as close to "I just can't do it" as I have yet to find. Yeah I got it in 7 goes on the official spray, but that says nothing about how many times I stood beneath that final, blank-ass crux move wondering what in the hell to do until finally I would grab a draw and pull past it shut down and defeated once again. I'm probably 2 for 30-something on actually climbing through that area; it just turned out luckily for me that my second and final success on that move just happened to be from the ground. I love that route, and I'll definitely climb it again some day just to remind myself.

Gear so far would be a toss up between Fastest Gun in the Dacs and Recompense at Cathedral.
Best gear in the Red so far would be either B3, Rebar, or Inhibitor. (Gotta' admit though, Crack Attack was SERIOUSLY fun!!)
Best sport: Soul Ram! Unbelievable rock and moves.

The Naked Edge, Eldorado Canyon. Some of the most beautiful climbing I've ever done, with engaging moves, beautiful position, and great exposure the whole way. I don't usually like to repeat climbs, but I've done this one 5 times, and I'm sure I'll do it again many more times. I mean, I love tons of sport climbs at the red, but multi-pitch is where it's at...

Dracula! By far! Starts of with powerful shouldery climbing with super delicate footwork, you basicaly feel like you are jumping into every move for the first few bolts. Then lets up a hair to really cool feature climbing to a rest. Recover enough for a tough boulder problem at the end using slopers and crimps. Thing has it all, hard bouldery moves, holds small enough for you to get pumped despite how short it is, a jug for your classic red river recovery, and a hard end with a big but totally safe and fun fall if you cannot pull through at the chains. This route is perfection.
