El matador or a Bridge too far @ Deto
Bomberos away, the Bolus cmbk, Phx, Noted for historical reasons only, I would never advocate poaching gems in closed area...
BW and Mayflower direct are top contenders, too though.

Another vote for Mayflower Direct, tenuous stems while you fiddle with #3 wires and 00 cams..

Knott really a pitch per se, but I can't recall ever stemming anything quite as stout on a route...
There is some good stemming on Green Arch, Tahquitz.

Devils tower is king for endurance stemming. Tunnel vision, Bridge Too Far and third pitch of Avalon are classic. I also like Refractal, McCarthy West, Double Indemnity. Honorable mention goes to Moratorium in Yosemite Valley and Blood on the Tracks, San Rafael Swell.

Twentynine Palms ~ JTree
The Dark side Of The Force ~ Needles a rarely climbed gem on Voodoo dome
Book Of Brilliant Things ~ JTree _ high obscurity factor!
Romantic Warrior 7th pitch ~ Needles
Fool's Finger ~ Yosemite - short but sweet!
I'm sure there are more that I'm not thinking of now but give me some time.

I like the stemming on Anticipation (Arch Rock), and the finger locks are very cool as well.
