A Roadside Attraction in the lower Merced has an excellent stemming start. And now that somebody put that bolt in, you can lead the thing!
Love that stemming on the splitter ...

The 5.10+ 5th pitch of the Cruise (The Kor Dahlke Cruise not the Scenic variation) is the single most beautiful dihedral I have ever seen. It would be fantastic if some poster had a photo of it.

Someone mentioned Rockwork Orange upthread...
(stolen from MP.com --- credit Blitzo)
Some friends and I went out to JT on Sunday to try this thing. We got a beatdown. It looked something like this:
do people really stem this thing? Could you do some funky chimney shennanigens? It felt impossible to even get started...

I think the crux of Rockwork Orange is down low. The dihedral is the reward.

I thought Roadside Attraction had a few cool stemming moves.

We do a lot of stemming around here, but DT is pretty much king of the hill when it comes to stemming...

My vote goes toward McCarthy West Face at the Tower
El Matador is more sexy but MWF was way more fun

I'm thinking that pitches one and two of the Durrance are pretty good stems

Anybody done Space Tower in Kane Creek? That has some wild stemming on it between a big spire and the wall.

I remember a Rockwork Orange as a chimney and a hard one.

Straight up the Witbliz corner at Granite Mt. Az. Really good stemming! Some people scuffle/chimney it and I pity them. Sorcerer has some bitchen stemming as well.

It might not be THE best stemming pitch ever, but a climb called SCORPIO
at clark canyon AT AREA 13; was a great 5.9 stemming pitch. Me n grant and Spud did that thing with about 8 #one rigid stemmed freinds for pro. No move harder than 5.9, IF YOU STEMMED EVERY MOVE. Ive seen people try to jam it, lieback it; and the guy who tried to face climb it actually put bolts out on the face arms reach from the crack! face climb to the right ..."chop chop" is its owm trad thing and also needed no bolts.
On Scorpio at the belay a huge black scorpian crawled out from under the chockstone
at the anchor.
It was sad to hear of the after bolting of the climb.

I think the worst is the toilet in this hotel room.
Best are many; BW, El Matador, and this thing up on the left side of Rincon area, short but engaging.
