Is there a second Sierra that I hadn't heard about?

Sorry, someone had to say it.

My vote is for the as-of-yet-unrepeated ridgeline that Misha did:

How about the North Arete of Bear Creek Spire? It's definitely one of my favorites.

What a privilege to post to a thread this old!

Charlotte Dome. How could that be left off any list of routes 5.9 or less in the Sierra?
1,600' of 5.7. (Or is it now rated 5.8?) Well worth the walk.
