What non-classic did you love?

In the opposite spirit of the "what classic did you hate" thread, what are the underrated climbs that deserve to be classics?

Any climb with an offensive name.

Aka The Burnt Penis or any phallic spire

Community Pillar in Red Rocks. Folks seem to hate it. I thought it was a hoot. 

I think more boulder problems should be recognized. I know most people don't really appreciate bouldering, but think about it: You use no rope, no cams, no carabiners, only chalk. It's the purist form of climbing there is. (besides soloing)

6/10, almost got me with this one

This one deserves more love:

Solid route but I’m more into the middle variation.

Youth Challenge at Cathedral Ledge...fantastic 5.10 climbing. 

Uncle Fanny at Church Bowl. It'll put hair on your chest and take it off every other part of your body 

Little Sprout at HCR in Arkansas. It’s a 2-star, 5.6 sport route, but has lots of neat chicken heads on gorgeous rock with amazing views

Black Widow Hollow in Red Rock

Most slab climbs. 

 Double trouble at Smith Rock, my favorite 5.10 ever

Chockstone Chimney, Peter Pan, and the Happy Gully.

I'd 2nd Black Widow Hollow at RR.
Also, Slab Alley at Squamish and GM Route (with HOC finish) at Index. 

Ixtlan in Red Rocks.

Pretty much everything at Index. It's the greatest crag in America, but it doesn't get enough credit. 

Most of the romps on First Creek Slabs in Red Rock.
My favorite is probably Sunset Slab.  Which, incongruously, has a long crack in the middle.  A fun 5.7 - with only about 15 feet of 5.7.
With less than an hour descent, even mere mortals can get two  7+ pitch climbs in a day and stay roped up.

There’s an amazing route called Celtic Cracks on the Labrinth Wall above the slabs, too. Not quite an uber-classic, but I absolutely loved it and as a bonus, the descent is super cool. I forget which slab route we used to approach it, but combined they made for a great day. Celtic Cracks has some awesome pitches. It’s got a bit of junk too, but the position is incredible. Highly recommended for an adventurous day in First Creek Canyon. 

The route that inspired me to create this thread was Moonlight (5.6) in the Gunks. It's better than most of the Gunks classics at the grade, IMO. Locals know about it but it doesn't get much publicity, perhaps because the crux is a hard-to-grade balance-y traverse about 12 feet from your last good piece.

Another really nice climb that even a lot of locals don't know around here is Short Job (5.5). The first pitch is basically a boulder problem with a loose block above it, so few people get up to the second pitch, which is a long, beautiful Gunks finger crack that winds up diagonally left through the trees on clean, solid rock to an interesting crux followed by a tree belay with a view. At the grade, I'd say it's not as good as Horseman or Ursula, but it's at least as good as Jackie, which a lot of people give 4 stars.
