Beautiful! Thanks for all the input. Also, great idea on adding some photos, they look great. Here are a few from a couple favorites.

Oh, and i second a couple of those mentioned, which I've been on. Strength in numbers is incredible! Ride the lightning, and probably the mother of all mothers, little devil.

Bouldering is lame. But after doing the rad sports routes behind you, and warming up a bit more on the stellar crack lines on the other wall opposite, do this amazing boulder in the middle. Best V9 in CO? Possibly..

Depends on what you want to consider to be the criteria to determine What "BEST" means ?,     ,   ,    ,

I think Location, Location , Location. . . Golf Course, Way off the  The 12th Tee. . .

Golden Harvest (what is being climbed in the picture) is V10. Golden Shower (V5) is to the left, I can't climb V10 but I can confirm that Golden Shower is one of the best V5s anywhere.

This is the best boulder problem in the US.

Was at best, hasn't seen a FA in its current state.

Every good gym has their routes reset from time to time!

Freerider, Yosemite, V8 X   

More serious answer: I always thought all the classic V4s in Squamish were great. Easy in an Easy Chair, Superfly, Mantel Madness, etc.

I agree with a lot of these. 

Gonna add Crystal Ball Mantle at Stoney Point. It's just such a classic high ball that doesn't even seem feasible to a beginner climber.

Stoney has some of my favorites. Crystal Ball for sure! Crowd Pleaser, Split Decision, The Johnson Problem....

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
