+1 for the Book of Solemnity! Also, Partition on Upper Washbowl in the Adirondacks, Earthly Nights @ Poke-O-Moonshine in the Adirondacks, and Slim Pickins @ The Web in the Adirondacks.

Good thread; I like these topics that make you reminisce a bit.

Most memorable one for me was Triple S at Seneca Rocks; memorable because I first climbed it very early on- I think I was 15, and had just started leading. It is a long, sustained corner with a mostly thin-hands crack, but lots a feet keep it at 5.8+. Awesome. I think it was the second 5.8 I ever led.

Some others that have been particularly noteworthy and good:

Tomato (Seneca Rocks)- Also something I led early one, so memorable for that reason.

Pitch 8 (the Enduro Corner) on Freeride (Wallface, Adks)- My favorite pitch on a hidden classic in the Northeast.

Bonnie's Roof (Gunks) and Ant's Line (Gunks)- Two incredible steep corners with gigantic holds.

The Split Pillar on the Grand Wall (Squamish)- How has no one mentioned this one yet? Way classic, and one of the most aesthetic features I've ever climbed. Squamish holds a good number of other great corner pitches, especially on the Chief.

Layaway Plan (Indian Creek)- A corner that turns into a roof! Many other corner pitches at the Creek deserve recognition too, but this was my favorite among them.

Not My Cross to Bear (Penitente)- There are some great dihedral sport climbs out there too!

Open Book (Tahquitz)- Already mentioned several times. Not only is it historic, it is also just really good.

And many more to come... I haven't been to Devil's Tower yet, and I expect that I can find me some corners there.

+1 for Nightcrawler. Superb rock.

-1 for getting ropes stuck at the top as a snowstorm rolled in. I spent a few long, cold hours on top of that pillar while my partner learned to prusik 35m of icy ropes.

+1 for Nightcrawler, Red Rocks. Too many to name in the Valley - but my vote for most memorable easy dihedral pitch is the awesome 5.9 hands corner on p3 of the Rostrum.

+1 for the Red Tower pitch on the Timebinder in Montana. Sustained, thoughtful moves in a perfect corner that goes from hands to fingers.

Other favorites are Hospital Corner at the leap, smooth granite with nice hands. And Oh My God Dihedral at Old Rag in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. This thing is steep and sustained the whole way. Clean granite makes for tricky footing, it will give you a run for your money at 10c.

Oh, and Coarse and Buggy at J-tree, which I think is pure corner climbing.

The last pitch of recompense on cathedral ledge. I pulled around the overhang to find a peregrine falcon sitting on the horizontal jug I was gunning for.

Eeep.

This thread needs more photos (funny, Mike A and I apparently had the same thought at almost the exact same time)!!
Sunspot Dihedral on the Hulk, for sure. Take your pitch of any pitch after #2. They all have particularly amazing sections. Featured granite offering up rad smears, often a crimpy, stemmy crux to bypass a fused section of seam. There's even a little runout! So rad. Just thinking about this route (or any on the Hulk) makes my pulse elevate a bit... But don't just take my word for it! Photos:

probably black uhuru in the creek or gordons direct in little cottonwood.

So hard to pick just one!

+1 for Open Book @ Tahquitz. Sure, it's historical, but it's also fantastic climbing!

Unfortunately, another of the best corners I have ever led is now closed on private property:
I only ever knew it as "The Classic Dihedral (5.9)" at the Crest Boulders in San Diego. This IS still closed right?

Plenty of primo corners in Eldo. Over the Hill comes to mind, Green Spur is pretty good to.mountainproject.com/v/over-the-hill/105756796 mountainproject.com/v/the-green-spur/105748645

Mr. Clean is at the top of my heap along with the second pitch of Cynical Pinnacle's Center Route. At a more humble level, but still superb, little ol' Star Wars in Eldorado: 20 feet of perfection leading to almost-as-good-but-easier terrain. CP and SW were landmark leads for me. Mr. Clean I followed free, clean and chalkless; still a proud occasion many years later.

The Good Book. As a side note, I remember almost puking up purple vomit during that last pitch...

Black Uhuru anyone?

Anyone notice weird coincidences on the Mountain Project home page lately?

Wow great pictures and inspiration. This just means even more routes for my never ending to-do list. Thanks everyone!

My memory sucks, so as usual my most memorable dihedral is the one I have been jazzed about most recently, which is The Watchtower in Sedona, AZ. I wish I had some great photos of it to really add to this thread, but will have to settle for a link to the route description.

Milk Run in Squamish is pretty memorable -- once you get to it, anyway.
