Committing to the first move through the ceiling on Shockley's Ceiling.

The slippery finger crack crux move on Prune at Seneca.

My move from CA to CO.

It's not a very difficult move, though, as I know many people have been able to repeat it.

+1 for Crux of Ondra's "change". I would also throw in the crux of Ondra's "move" but I'd say it's just slightly less impressive.

The inverted foot lock move on Cobra Crack!
The dyno on Action Direct has to be the most famous.

Super strong shoulder move with a hand foot match. Pretty sick.

Lots of greats mentioned, how about the roof flip free solo on Separate Reality...

For me personally it was this move, probably mostly due to this picture I guess. And the relief of finishing...

Are you guys sure it's not a tie for 1st place between the Dynamic Cam placement and the ice axe jump in K2?

Lynn Hill's Houdini move. Is there any other single move that gets it's own name?

it's at 1:01, but start at 0:37 to get a better feel of the situation. Not sure if the video does it justice.

Skip to 1:00 (don´t skip and watch the other episodes) recommended.

Thanks Sanllan, that is the most entertaining climbing video I've seen in a long time.
Interesting people and some crazy stemming moves. Don't bother skipping to 1:00, just see the whole thing.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
