I've been pretty psyched on corners lately and I realized that ST doesn't have a good 'Corner Thread' going like there is for finger cracks, OW, etc...
So let's get it going!
I'll kick it off with the Shadow, a climb I've dreamed about ever since I first saw a pic of it. Couldn't find a pic that did it justice (maybe someone else has one) but I thought this short film sums it up pretty well.

Nice one Rudbud!
Randisi, it's poster's choice!
Here's one of my favorites in the valley,... P2 of Mental Block. It's actually the approach pitch for the wide fun above but on it's own it has to be one of the best easily accessible 5.10 corners in the valley!

Cenotaph, the OG corner, but it's gotta be drizzling.

(Edited again: Cragman below is right. This is Enduro Corner on Astroman, Yosemite, California, USA. Mere mortals can climb it. I did.)

And the one the Levitattor did.

Some of the first ones to pop into my head, just in Yosemite:
The Good Book
Mental Block
The Yawn
Oz
Plumb Line
The Moratorium
Pink Dream
Anticipation
Leanie Meanie
New Dimensions
Catchy Corner
Hairline
Bircheff-Williams
Peter Left
Silent Freeway
And if you want some obscure aid lines, those corners on the right side of the Ribbon Falls Amp look pretty wild.
Also higher in the Sierra, there's the Red Dihedral and a bunch of other awesome looking corners on the Hulk that I haven't done.
In Squamish I really enjoyed Milk Road, Rock On, the Split Pillar, and Rutabaga.
Basalt columns also lend themselves to some great (shallow) corner climbing.

No photos of mine, but Over the Hill in Eldo is pretty good, including the last (non-corner) pitch

Man that Venturi Effect corner look so rad!
I was waiting for someone to mention the Yawn. What a sandbag that sucker is!!! Or maybe I was just too worked from the pitch before?
