I've freed both, and while I prefer the free "variation" of the East Buttress, I think the A0 on the Arches is a must-do if only for the fun factor.
How about you...favorites?

While the A0ing itself isn't fun in that way that the Royal Arches rope swing is, at least it is pretty easy (bolts aren't too reachy). And dealing with the two short bolt ladders is certainly worth it, given the quality of the rest of the route.

Best legit A0 pitch I have done was the bolt ladder on P30 of the Nose. Easy, bomber bolt ladder on a steep overhang 3,000' off the deck. It is probably one of the most exposed pitches in the world.
