Best Arete Climb?!

Thanks for the replies everyone! I added some of your suggestions to my to-do list. Personally, one of my favorite aretes I've done is at a secret crag in the blue ridge mountains of NC. Probably goes at 11b. The last time I was on it, I got through the crux no problem, but as I was nearing the top I ripped off a "good" jug and took a nice 20-footer. What makes things even better is my partner had forgotten his harness that day so we fashioned one out of slings. He then proceeded to unknowingly catch me in said harness LOL!

Edge of a Dream at Ship Rock is in the SE and is quite picturesque for a 5.7 https://www.mountainproject.com/route/106135677/edge-of-a-dream

I haven't climbed this, but the picture looks amazing and is in the SE.

There's an amazing-looking arete at Foster Falls which I thought was on my To-do list, but now I can't find it. :(

Yellow Spur in Eldo! Great Climbing and amazing exposure!

In the south....Commodus, 10b

+1 for Bullet the Blue Sky in Colorado 

Here's a classic in the southeast for ya:

If there were climbing in the South I would recommend Stepping Stone too. Haven't done it but heard good things. Also, not technically "the South" but the Decameron is really great and less of a commitment.

Whitney Gilman cannon cliff 

Mention earlier.

pinnacle buttress is also cool, but less of an arette  

This somewhat hidden gem at the Gunks. Not the best, just neat.

Not sure I know that one. Is that the arete at Giant's Workshop, to the right of Intruders?

The Feather Arete on Feather Buttress in the Winds. It’s unreal.

Distant second: Ginger Buttress > Blade Runner.

Some cool climbs listed here. A buddy and I did the fa of an arete that looks like a granite version of Bullet the Blue Sky, overlap included. Never noticed the resemblance before.

I can't think of any best-ofs, unfortunately.

It’s only one pitch, but Rebuffats Arete is fantastic.   mountainproject.com/v/10809…
