Totally forgot about South of Heaven.
It was made famous by Epi's photo, but deserves the fame just as much for the climbing.
Most definitely worth the walk.

Bird on a Wire, good call great route
Chasm of Doom, another good call, best top out in full moon
Orange Flake
Illusion Dweller
Right Ski Track to top at sunset
Coarse and Buggy, Bird of Fire, Exorcist, Mental Physics all runners up. Dog Leg is better than Double Cross but doesn't make the list.
Hobbit Hole is a fun boulder problem

resisted responding to this when it first went up because there are too many and my top 5 changes with every trip. with that said, off the top:
I Can't Believe It's a Girdle
White Rain
Swept Away
Firewater Chimney
Grain Surgery
Honorable mention:
sidewinder
and dozens more

My two cents:
Illusion Dweller
Touch & Go
Exorist
Solid Gold
I liked Equinox too....except it was C1 not 5.12d. Nice clean aid practice when it is 30 degrees in JT.
Man, I tried to pull a few free moves on Equinox but that crack is a meat grinder. I guess some people love pain.

Wow,
With the exception of several frequent nominees, lots of variety. Mine:
Figures
O'Kelley's
Mental Physics
Sidewinder
Equinox
Lots of other nominees--Coarse and Buggy, Run for Your Life, Hot Rock, Illusion Dweller--are awesome climbs, but these lists are so subjective.
Thought Black President was OK, but not top 5, same with Imaginary Voyage. I think Wangerbanger is a far better climb than both.

I think Top 40 to Middle Toilet holds in my heart the position of being the worst.
My top 5:
1) Wonderland
2) Real Hidden Valley
3) Saddle Rocks
4) Echo Rock and surrounding areas
5) Pinto Valley
(shucks, I guess I had to leave out the Ranger Station and areas...)
PS. From the Bong to Stingray, I get it ;-)
