I'm sure this has been asked, but I did a search for it and it didn't come up. Also I know how much we all enjoy thinking about our favorite routes, so...What are your favorite long free routes in Zion?

Rattle and Hum on the Watchtower: Stellar; watch out for the "akward looking" chimney.
Equinox on the Leaning Tower: Relatively adventurous and clean by Cascades standards.

So many other good looking routes to do ...

Never done it, but I've always had a strong yen to have a go at Tricks on Isaac.

I'd also have to not recommend Iron Messiah. Get's lots of hype but I didn't think it was anything too special.

Tricks does look like the sh#t. Cowboy Bob also.

I am going to counter the diss on Iron Messiah. I thought it was an absolutely fantastic line. Is there a better multipitch 5.10 in Zion? - if so, would love to know what it is.
