Least hospitable base of a route

I've seen more people wipe out walking around the Shire than actually climbing there.

the base of colina (the 8 at torrent) - belayer(usually new) is going to be pulled between those two large rocks.
awol - more of a hassle for everyone else trying to get to and from roadside safely
andromeda strain - not super bad but the consequences are .
any route where if your belayer doesn't warn you they are pulling up, (while you are hanging in the air) you get a nice sharp root/rock in the keester.

How about yesterday when I was giving you that toprope belay, and I had to stand in that snake pit over that canyon.
