Of course Friday the 13th goes through the upper roof. That's Pitch 2, although ever since some idiot put bolts on it right under the middle roof, most people never climb it. The meat of the upper roof is out of the picture but it's a classic with solid jams to the lip followed by and incredible thrash to pull right onto the summit slabs. Most people call that 11+/12-.
My favorite corners that I've done?
Enduro on Astroman - Yosemite
Good Book - Yosemite
Wunch's Dihedral - S. Platte
Quarter of a Man - Indian Creek
King Cat - Indian Creek
The Corner pitches on Primrose - Canyonlands
N. Face of the Rostrum - Yosemite
Hollywood & Vine - Devils Tower
Catchy Corner - Yosemite
Over the Hill - Eldo
Corner Pump Station - Lumpy Ridge

There was an awesome 5.11 corner at Penatente Canyon right left of "Bullet to the Bright Blue Sky" and left of the virgin. I thought that climb was fantastic sustained small climbing!!! I doubt it will make classics when compared to some of these others, but I love corner climbng and that one definitely tickled my fancy!

In chochise stronghold, the first pitch of Forest Lawn is pretty sweet. Note that the camera was turned a little. It's not this vertical:

Think I've got you all beat.
The Ultimahedral on Catharsis.
Half of this grade V is in a single perfect corner.
Not enough?
How about the whole route?
Gentleman's Agreement.
(That's actually MORE than 5 pitches.)

The famous corner of Horse Chute is a great pic. Unfortunately the crack has a coral-like crust that isn't much fun.

The Ultimahedral is the 500' right facing corner immediately to the right of the big scar on Timbertop Mesa; can't miss it.
Gentleman's Agrrement is also in Zion, a right facing corner on the SE prow of Mt. Nemia (AKA one of the 3 "Marys", this one being the furthest W).
Again, can't miss it.
Ultimahedral, mostly wide, rap the route.
GA, bring the full range, standard descent into gap to the E, a few short raps.
