I have a new favorite no star trad route. Anne's crack at wall of Denial. It is a little ugly, a little green, and a little short. But, shit it climbs like a dream. Straight in cracks are so cool, I am almost sick of corners.
What is your favorite no star trad route?

Fear & Loathing in Nada....crack moves up broken face....funky bulges...good rock.....coolest cave/ledge belay in the red perched under the crux second pitch overhanging/slanting fist-o-rama into the thrutch-fest to the top.
honestly, there is no reason that there shouldn't be any stars on the thing.......

The Corner at Tower. 5.9 crap rock, wide crack, but good climbing.

I must be looking at the wrong book. The one I have gives Fear and Loathing and Jaws a star.
