Red Rocks has to be near the top of the heap for me. But, it has the kind of climbing I enjoy, in spades.
If they put a drive in and out campground via a separate road inside the loop, near enough to the rocks to park the car and climb (say, near Pine Creek, Juniper, Oak Creek, even Willow Springs), with enough space for a few folks, maybe a Climber's Ranch type cooking area, tent camping, some frickin' shade (!), and a nice view of the actual Red Rocks (unlike the POS that passes for the campground now), then it'd be world class.
Probably a number of areas in Europe that rival it in terms of the number of routes in the longer easy/moderate/hard grades but with more user friendly camping/lodging and food options.
For the U.S., its hard to beat.

dogfather, I gotta call BS on your 5.6 - 5.9 range... you just CHOOSE to climb routes in that range. I have seen you climb 5.11, so no SANDBAGGIN!

Great TR Dogfather.
I'm heading there in 2 weeks and looking forward to it. We're planning on doing Birdland, Solar Slab, Black Orphious (sp?), and maybe a day of sport climbing, or just single pitch climbs, topless twins looks pretty nice, as well as that 5.9 splitter finger crack.
Cheers and thanks.
Prod.
