Describe your dream climbing pitch

Oh, I remember one of my favorite pitches was Steve's Arete at Mt. Lemmon.  Double overhanging arete climbing with one foot and hand on each side of the arete.  Truly special if you ever get the chance to climb it!

Also for something easy, the second pitch of El Whompo on the north side of Taquitz.  Perfect 5.7 hand crack for a whole pitch.  Just watch out for that last move to get to the crack, especially if you are soloing.

You pull a big roof on jugs to a ledge. Then you pull another big roof on jugs to a ledge. That basically just repeats forever. There is no end

A giant Boulder, split down the middle, like a plumbers crack

The third pitch of Traveler Buttress at Lovers Leap gets my vote! Airy arete vision questing, protected by some nice bendy pitons.

A long, slightly overhung sport pitch, where the bolts are exponentially spaced so that no matter where or how high on the route you fall, you land in basically the same spot.

An infinitely long perfect 0.4 splitter finger crack on bomber granite with tiny edges for feet.

That’s basically how I remember Mr Natural feeling. With the occasional hand jam pod and a more interesting finish

Added to the list.  Thats basically how I imagined my optimal pitch.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
