The Southwest Rib on SEWS deserves a mention!

Standard route on Square Ledge is about as beautiful of a 5.4 pitch one could ask for

Klahanni crack in Squamish is a great 5.7 handcrack. A stop in City of rocks will give many options for 5.fun routes.

Hands down, the best 5.8 in N.A. is 'White Punks On Dope' (The Needles, Voodoo Dome)

Can't argue with that, TBH. I still like the setting of Charlotte Dome better and think the climbing is equally good.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
