for me it would be the grack because i've taken lots of frist time climbers up it , parents, girls, and friends alike , and it is always awesome to see them get so stoked on their first climb...
runners up include Goodrich pinnacle , i have awesome memories of doing it this spring as water started to trickle down the crux runout slab parts....
-lastly i would miss apron jam and of course harry daly even though i think it's only 5.7.......

I used to like Synapse Collapse. It was my first 5.10 lead in the valley. Haven't done it since '93 though.
The Grack Center is super classic. Definitely Mr. Natural.
A fun, often overlooked climb is Point Beyond to Angel's Approach to Lucifer's Ledge. Last time I did that I nearly wet my pants cause the bolts were so bad up high. Could wiggle them with my fingers and it was pretty run out 5.9. The hanging rap stations were even worse. Haven't really climbed up there at all since the big rockfall.

That's easy. Tightrope. Anyone else ever done this route? You can hit the ground from 300' up if you slime off the upper part of the 5.8+ friction on pitch 2. Thank heavens the 5.11c pitch is more like a boulder problem.

Correction Michael Paul: It's Green Dragon to Mr. Natural (not vice versa unless you are climbing down). Oh well! So what?

We once did Goodrich to the rim in '75 and it was cool!!! Traversing into the Hinterlands and into rock (loose) filled gullies and all that!
