What is the most aesthetic line in the world?
|
Let’s see ‘em |
|
The Salathe Wall |
|
Ha. As if you even had to ask....  |

NW Ridge of Mt. Sir Donald is maybe the most uniformly striking thing I've seen in person. American Direct on the Petit Dru is impressive. Lotus Flower Tower is a nice line. Don't really compare to Left Ski Track though. |
|
Bullet the Blue Sky is quite possibly the most striking line I’ve ever seen with bare eyes. |
|
K2 comes to mind. |
|
I haven’t made it up there, but I’ve always thought North Howser is one of the most striking chunks of rock anywhere. Not sure if that’s different than what you mean by “line.” |
|
Cerro Torre |
|
Single pitch line, here’s my vote.. https://www.mountainproject.com/route/106913421/the-greatest-show-on-earth |
|
That ocean tower down in New Zealand, the totem pole? |
|
My vote would be for the Shining Wall on G4, Kurtyka's and Schauer's stunning all-in commitment to create The Climb of the Century. Its such a beautiful line on a beautiful mountain but I must admit I am mesmerized by the tale of this beyond-legendary climb and the two men who created it (+ the 3rd man who kept them alive) and that influences my emotions on it, frankly.   |
|
Dreamcatcher - Squamish |
|
I'm a total sucker for finger cracks so I've gotta say Mr Natural. Exasperator is also a very close second. |
