Mine:
Sherry's Crack, Pat and Jack. The snot-slick starting feet are completely useless.
Bloody Crack, Looking Glass. Hideous abuse by toproping campers has rendered this once-innocuous line way harder than the original 5.7 rating.
Bastille Crack, Eldo. Ascended approximately 7 times/hr between March and October since about 1962.
(Hey, looks like Rob likes cracks. He'd have more to say if he ever went to Rifle)
Honorable mentions:
Lena's Lieback (and most of Swan Slabs)
That other thing by the Bishop's Terrace with the greasy fingers.
Crackattack, Way Rambo, Generic...most of the Supercrack Buttress in fact. Wingate seems to have a half-life, unfortunately.

Anything on the Beaver St. Wall in San Francisco. It's a lot like climbing brown glass, but a little smoother.

Wouldn't the most polished routes anywhere be in Poland, or at least climbed by Polish climbers?

Ken's Crack in the Gunks gets the double treatment... half the time it's a waterfall, the other half the time it has legions of climbers marching up it. Smooooooooooth. At least the chalk get washed off regularly.

Beaver St. wall is in (I think) Corona Heights playground area. Polished hard mud, friable but slick.

beaver street wall is a pretty fun 2.5 routes or so from 5.9 to 5.11. all the routes converge after 20 vertical feet or so. the top-rope anchor is a heavy chain around a fence-post at the top of the crag. they recently built a bizarre second fence shielding the part of the main fence with the chain-post. you can squeeze between the two fences, though.

The junk at Mortar/Indian rock- super polished crappy rhyolite or any of the 5.11 "warmups" in Rifle. Those Colorado holds feel like bars of soap. Oh, and the Water crack on Lembert Dome in Toulumne. Lucho onsight free-soloed that thing barefoot back in the day. He must've had an inch of pine sap on his feet for them to stick.

Good call on Sherry's.
Nasty Rifle polish (the rope grooves are trippy). Found some of the 12's more polished than glass. I had to make up alternate beta to send one thing, couldn't use the 1/4" wide foothold on redpoint...could off the dog, barely.

Chimpanzadrome. First 13a on the continent and located at the crag closest to Paris. Like glass.
