Summit of Wolf's Head with Pingora in the background

I'm not sure I'd call Nutsweat a roof, more like an overhanging traverse...but still awesome.
For other Moore's routes:
I think the roof move on Bimbo's Bulge is pretty good. Suspiciously Delicious and Break on Through too.

Other good NC roofs:
Built to Tilt at Shortoff
Lost in Space at Hawksbill
The end of No Free Lunch at Hawksbill

Air show at Moore's. Not that I could free climb it but the roof on glass menagerie at looking glass should be included.

This painting was taken from engravings made during the 1859 Macomb Expedition, which attempted to locate the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers   in the present-day Needles District of Canyonlands National Park.  Anyone who has spent time in Indian Creek will recognize the features here. <br /> <br />If you're interested, the survey's official report, as well as more landscape paintings like this one, are available in full on google books. <br /> <br /><a href='http://books.google.com/books?id=674QAAAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=macomb+expedition&hl=en&sa=X&ei=DvEeT9KcFvC40gHIuukH&ved=0CDkQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=macomb%20expedition&f=false' target='_blank' rel='nofollow' >books.google.com/books?id=674QAAAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&d>>></a>

NRG
Sport: Lactic Acid Bath, Puppy Chow, Depth Charge.

Trad: Greatest Show, Roof of Death, Let's Get Physical,

For the RRG, it is interesting, there are not a whole bunch of true roofs (as in, significant sections of horizontal climbing). Sustained walls in the 30-45 degrees overhang range are way more common. Still, there are a few good roof cracks (Dreamthiever, Country Luvin, Better Red Than Dead), and a fun section of Bob Marley Crag has some 5.12 pocket pulling 2-body-length roofs.

One of my first trad leads, on Ooga Chocka at Crowder's Mountain.

Break on Through at Moore's is probably my favorite that I have actually done. Just one move but so cool.

Lost in Space at Hawksbill and Yowsah at NRG both look awesome and are on my tick list.

There are tons of possibilities at the New if you get into the harder stuff... all of the Coliseum and the Glory Hole, for starters. I would guess most folks who crank hard would probably give Apollo Reed the gold medal for SE roofs.

Yes! A climbing thread!

Lost in Space is a mega roof.

Also in NC, Shiprock has some kick-ass roof pitches: Hindu Kush, The Broach, both pitches of BOG Man (especially #2)...

My partner fell while following the roof on Lost in Space and gave the rope a core shot, so that one's not too high on my list. I like this roof:

It's not too far from there and is really steep.

Summit of Rainier.

Madness Cave in Motherlode @ RRG has long overhanging sport routes, mite not be a true roof; but it looks super cool. Beyond my level, just a fan of people that can climb it.
