Babylon is definitely worth a stop. I climbed it in the mid 90's first on toprope.
Not as continuously crack-like as say a desert crack, other techniques are involved. Good times!

It's been said but Panic, manic, monkeypaws, Karl's roof and Babylon are the best I've done up there.
Sanitation crack is good too. Ed and fred(?) is great for the grade as well

Didn't read the whole thread, so not sure if it was mentioned...?
Anyone ever go out behind the far back side Caples Lake to the series of routes put up about 15+ years ago by Troy Corliss and friends?
There is a stunning crack out there that was billed as the "best 5.12 crack in the Tahoe region" at the time. As memory serves it is 120 feet long and overhangs about 15 or 20 feet. It starts on a right side of a wide and narrowing chimney bolt protected face climbing fro 25 feet until the apex where the crack starts in earnest. most of the difficulties are hand crack moves. Continuous. Prob 12a. It's easy to TR and well worth the hike out. North facing. It can be seen from 88 if you look carefully across the lake and spot the tower it splits from 1.5 mile away. I went out twice to try it and approached from Kirkwood ski area straight up and then down the back side to the base of one of the backside ski lifts an perhaps a 1/2 mile beyond. Or hike around the lake

Gold Member out at warren lake is one of the best in the tahoe area at 12+/13-.
Grand Illusion is by far the coolest hand and finger crack in tahoe though.
