Cell Block has a great handjam rest too.

+1 I sent this route many times over in my head from my desk or on my couch, and it was just plain easy. Damn that move though when it came to reality would spit me off time and time again.
The Infidel and Mercy the Huff are others that got me pretty good. Mercy zaps all that energy out of you as you are at the final bolt "rest" where everyone else is getting some handjam or some such shit, and I was just pumped out of my mind wondering how I was going to hold on to the anchor jug if I ever got to it. Now I wonder that same thing on Cell Block Six.

There's no crying in rock climbing, J-Ballz. Unless it's between the sweaty pendulous breasts of Cromper's mommy.

Hahahaha wow! Jimmy just had a hard time with crown because every time he tried it he had wasted his energy the night before trying to please my mom sexually.

Trust me, trying to please your mom sexually is emotionally and physically devastating.

I can't tell you the amount o lockjaw I had to deal with Dustin. Try lowering your heart rate not being able to breath thru your mouth.

A few that come to mind for me...
Taste the Rainbow, Golden Boy, The Force, Convicted, Swingline, Too Many Puppies, Dracula, and Big Money Grip. I think the running theme with all of them is a good bit of tough climbing to a defined crux towards the end.

I recommend a snorkel for that.

Tried that the fat layers cover the hole and almost killed me last time.
