I have to say, Original Route on La Esfinge is a great experience. Long climb that goes at CA 11a or 10d. They call it 11c- in Peru. But ratings aside, the scenery around is gorgeous and climbing is really good too. Cool route up a 2000 ft face, f*#k yeah!

Birdland is super fun and anyone can do it, as long as you are not in a wheel chair. 5 pitch 5.7 that is more like a 5.5+.

Alpamayo! One of the coolest looking peaks in the world hands down.

Snowpatch route on Snowpatch is cool too! Long 5.8 with gorgeous summit views. Good climbing and climbing by the Snowpatch that you see from camp is quite cool.

Just being in the Bugaboo is a must. Here is a view after Beckey choinard

Into Watanabe to resolution arete goes up the middle of Mt. WILSON! Aesthetic, quality and longgg!

Snake dike, goes up this peak! Damn awesome. NW face is even better though!

SE Arête of Castle Dome! 1100 ft moderate with one or two low 10 crux moves.

This place rocks too

Vataliy for me the East Face isn't worth the rope work. It's such a great day to do a car to car up the East Face and down the Mountaineers route.

Naitch - Gunsight to South Peak Direct is a 5.5 now? I think it was still a 5.3 when I did it. What a fun climb!

White Maidens Walkway 5.4 Tahquitz
The Eye 5.2ish Joshua Tree
Cathedral Peak 5.6 Yosemite

For the 'big' areas I climb at, those are my picks. If you can walk, you can climb 'em and they are unequivocally awesome.

My climbing is South/Central California-centric, and YNP-centric within that, so:

NW Buttress, Tenaya Peak

Grack Center, Grack Marginal, Bishop's Terrace or Little John, right depending on mood and time of day/year

East Face, Dogtooth Peak (with side trip to southern pinnacle)

Culp bossier on hallet seemed to be really full on for a 5.8. Absolutely stellar but several long runouts on 5.7-8 face climbing. The way I did it featured pulling the crux slab moves 60 ft off the belay with zero gear in, I was totally off route though.
