3 must do's in the Valley of the Sun?

I'm looking for the top 3 5.10s in the Valley of the Sun to make a trilogy of sorts. I'm talking the best of the best!!! Id like them to be heady/bold if bolted, decent gear, and fairly sustained for their grade? An R rating is a plus, an X is not, PG-13 is ok, and G is instant disqualification:)

After I get them I'll be looking for a partner to go get on them with me:)

Any Takers?
Thanks

Try Blowfly's Last Ride on the Loaf at Little Granite Mtn. A ground up tour de force by Chuck Hill and amigos. A bit heady and you'll love the big black zenolith. I know I did.

CJD is right on wih R&B; give it an early start and you may be fine.

I don't know if this is one of "the best" 10s, but I think Space Cadets in the McDowells could fit your bill. Definitely bold on pitch 2. And a really great route imo, although sadly rather short.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
