Best boulder problems in the U.S.

Wondering what people think are the best boulder problems located in the United States. Please only post about problems that you have been on. Include the climbing area please.

Here are a few from me:

The wind below - Joe's valley
Checkerboard - Bishop
Shivers - Little Cottonwood Canyon

A few moderate Hueco classics...

See Spot Run V6 - Good climbing, tall enough to be spicy, and it's got a good landing.

Melon Patch V0 - Maybe loses some points due to the easiness of climbing, but it's definately one of the funnest problems in the US.

Dragon Fly V5 - The start's polished as hell...so maybe not "the best" but still really good. My favorite V5 anyway.

Dentugrip V5 - Micro crimps on a slab...I know it sounds horrible, but it's a great problem that doesn't get done as often as it should.

WIthout question, Little Devil

Last time I was there I had to wait my turn because a bunch of Euros were swarming all over this problem. It's basically the next MIdnight Lightning.

Gotta go with Hueco: Dragon Fly for sure, Three Star Arete, Ghetto Simulator too.

The proof of this problems' status comes if you follow Destinations/Colorado, and scroll down to the area classics list, look at what's #1

Golden - Triassic

Biggest Tits in Country Music - Vedauwoo. Big Bob's Big Wedge - Jtree. Minturn Mile - Red Cliff, CO. Spin To Win, Vedauwoo. The tan with red V5 at the Red Rock Climbing Center, RIP. Frankenstein, Wild Iris.

specter, bishop
illustrious buddah, gunks
most things at hueco
many things in central PA. standard american accent.
some things around moab...chaos. circus trick right...

Ten of my favorites:

White Rastafarian, J-Tree
Melon Patch, Hueco
The Sword, Leavenworth
WAS, Leavenworth
Monkey Bar Direct, Red Rocks
Yabo Roof, Castle Rocks
Scary Monsters, Joe's
Kelly's Arete, Joe's
Ride the Lightning, Pawtuckaway
Executioner, Lincoln Woods

If I really wanted to stir it up I could say to stop bouldering and go real climbing...and that bouldering is for people that can't climb. But I wont say that...

Or better yet, I could say that those who can't do, climb, and those that can't climb, boulder.... I'm done now...

Mt Evans Wilderness

I nominate Evilution as the best boulder problem without a (reasonable, sane) topout.

The Ruckus (aka Seven Spanish Angels), Strength in Numbers (Original SIN), and almost everything in Ibex also top my list.

And some moderation:

JJ: Cool it. We don't particularly care for inane trolling here, so if you want to incite a thread full of bouldering vs. trad climbing arguments I suggest you visit a forum that tolerates it.
