The Triple Crown

A long time ago we used to say doing Foxfire 5.7, Tunnel Route 5.5, and Frenchburg Overhangs 5.8 in a day was the Trifecta. I was considering repeating this feat when i realized that Tunnel Route is closed. So i need a suitable replacement route. Any suggestion? It needs to be under 5.9 and more than one pitch. Also the further the route is from the other two routes the better. (NOT Caver's Route it sucks and is located between the other two.)

the fourth flatiron is a pretty good multipitch that would add to a spicey trifecta

Bonzo sounds like the man. Short but certainly classic.

Cavers is the best of the routes mentioned....
Foxfire is choss. Frenchburg is the worst route on the crag.

Sack up and do the "real" triple crown in a day - Jungle Beat, Nevermore (choss, but OK climbing), and the Quest.
