Royal Arches is surely a contender.

Easy: Bishop's Terrace, Grack Marginal, and The Nutcracker, three elegant, sweet climbs that seem to challenge yet yield so graciously.

Is this the thread for 'your mother' jokes?
West ridge of pigeon spire
Mathis crest
south face of Charlotte
East ridge of Russell, north/west ridge of conness, tenaya, cathedral, north ridge of stuart, East Arete on Carl heller, palisade and evolution traverse, ejesta, on the lamb, East buttress of Whitney, corrugated corner at the leap, snake dike, a bunch of climbs in red rock, etc.
PS: I honestly thought Royal Arches wad a crap climb. Know at least 5 other people that felt the same way.

If we say 3 routes that skcreidc can lead and his wife can follow that are classic, then I think we are on to something (that I could use as as list lol! What can I say, we are rapidly heading towards 60 and just getting going on this stuff.) And Walk on the Wild Side would be on that list 'cause I've led it and Patty has followed. I would have to say that is the first Joshua Tree climb I saw that I really knew I had do. Just too fun to not do every year, even without the top out.

Gotta be something in NH as that state is amazing. I had no idea. The Wolfs Head in the Winds. JUst an amazing looking ridge top, apparently with a little bit of everything in it! Haven't done it, yet, but also I'll never get my wife in there by the looks of it. Too much work for her.

I think it's worth knowing what others think are fun, quality routes.
Lakeview 5.6 on Cannon Cliff, NH
Thin Air 5.6 on Cathedral Ledge, NH
Long Climb 5.8 on Tahquitz Rock, CA
Nutcracker 5.8 in Yosemite Valley, CA
There's two from out of CA for you! Lakeview might be questionable, but I dug it.

So we need a weighting system for the evaluation. I hereby submit the following weights and look forward to at least 80 posts of deliberation on the weights for different attributes, and just before reaching consensus, the list of attributes must be revised. But to begin:
bliss of movement: 25%
This is the joy of tapping your inner monkey, ninja, stink-bug, or what have you.
bliss of macro-surroundings: 50%
An alpine skyline, a verdant river valley, a noble quiet desert wasteland, waves lapping at a coral sand beach, and so on.
bliss of micro-surroundings: 25%
Crazy dike intrusions, swirling orange and pink and cream, striking precious stones in the cobble matrix, and things of that ilk.

I agree that no one can disagree that Outer Space (on Snow Creek Wall) is great and should be on that list.

I love threads like this! I got into this too late to ever be a rock climber, but I can get in some climbing like activity. White Punks on Dope looks insane! Another gem for the to do list.
