Texas flake because it may not be long for this planet, and the cool perch/belay on top of it.
The Ear, great exposure for the moderate grade.

It is so hard to pick just one but my newest favorite is the Beckey Route on Ambush in the Winds.
Oh yeah really good one on sugarloaf in the Laramie Range
Pratt's crack on photographers in the needles is really good heck almost every route I do in the needles has chimneys.
ElMat at the tower.
[photoThese two 1500 footers in the Big Horns seemed really good.
Hallet's chimney in wintet seemed quite intetesting though I never got to the top.

The 4th or 5th pitch chimney on the N. face of Lone Eagle is pretty fun. Scary looking from below, but quite easy once you get up in it.

This is a great chimney on Steeple Peak in the Winds. After two pitches on the ridge you enter this huge chimney for two pitches and belay on a hanging chockstone in the middle. You then exit for a great 5.8 pitch right to the summit.

Upper Colonics?? WTF?
heh
im guessing yr spending a lot of time getting very literal with property law. but you don't need a lot of literary or theological training to grasp the alimentary metaphors involved in tunneling through the bowels of the crag.
next step is working out the allegorical position of the chimneying climber.

Chimneys are great if there's lots of pro in the back or if there's a lot of unnecessary bolts to clip, left over from a neanderthal ascent BITD. A "real" 5.9 chimney with no pro high up on the big wall? Ugh! Your lead. I'm not feeling well!

1096, because when first time I looked at it - I was so intimidated and I thought that I would never climb it. I returned 3 years later and was not so bad.

But my real favorite is that little tunnel going from Reeds direct to the left side, then finish with that short 5.9. I always loved that thing, felt like an adventure.

No one has mentioned the chimney behind El Cap Spire which mitigates the Ear and the soaking. But here goes.

I really love the chimney on Silent Line (Gold Wall).
3 walls to stem off of while you tunnel into the black until you get a a window to crawl through back into the daylight....SO FUN!
