Notch Peak in Utah. Huge, limestone, adventurous for sure. Variable rock. Someone posted up a TR recently, I think (or maybe am imagining that).

Edit: I did remember correctly about that recent TR, it was Donini, and here's the link:

There are other routes there too.

Bad Hair Day on the Minaret looks really good, and the approach is about as casual as you can get, provided it doesn't rain. Third week in July seems to be the charm.

Eastern tibet/western sichuan has loads. Not too cold in summer.

Japan has a big selection of 300-400m granite faces and spires. But dont tell anyone.

Iran. But if the stans dont appeal forget it. Cheap and exotic tho.

Turkey along the black sea has lots of big faces and nice climate.
