What is the greatest boulder?

So thinking about how some boulders have a load of fantastic problems and some have reached legendary status...I was wondering what boulder would be the greatest if you ranked them? For a boulder to be the absolute best I would think that it has to have a wide range of problems at many levels that all are considered to be multiple star problems.

My personal top three:

3) Grandma Peabody (Buttermilks)
2) Happy Boulder (Happy's)
1) Main Boulder (Area 51-Joe's Valley)

I admit, I have never been to Hueco Tanks. But the main boulder at Joe's Valley has a wide range of classic problems at all levels including: Phony Baloney (V6), Super Sloper (V3), and the mega classics: Black Lung (V12) and Resident Evil (V10). What do the rest of you think is the best boulder in the country? mountainproject.com/v/calif… mountainproject.com/v/calif… mountainproject.com/v/utah/…

Mushroom Boulder, Hueco.

"Mushroom Boulder"
Yeah...but isn't it closed now?

No references to Little Devil for Gods sake.

The good news is that "Little Devil" is a single problem...not a complete boulder with MANY problems.

Anyway, back to reality. Indian Rock in Berkeley has to make the list according to this criteria, although the harder problems are totally contrived (like not being allowed to use your left foot). But traversing past that guy's kitchen window is an experience all climbers should have once in their lives.
I hope this resuscitates this thread away from the LD references.

High times Boulder - Skyland, Crested Butte Colorado.
Stein Boulder - Redstone Colorado.
As good a rocks as you could hope for.

It's mostly hard stuff, but you have to include the Red Monster at Ibex in the discussion.

The Tank Boulder in Yosemite.

The Orb, Rocktown
Lost Digits Boulder, Boatrock
Short Long, Mulitino boulder, Horse Pens

Okotoks Boulder, Alberta Canada. A glacial erratic of pink, purple and white GOG Quartzite, 60 miles from the mountains on the plains south of Calgary in the middle of a pasture. Fantastic variety of problems from V Easy to not yet; short to highball. 2 BIG boulders

The Diamond, Long's Peak

What about anything in Colorado?

• Dali Boulder? Maybe not the greatest, but pretty sweet...

wait , can I change my answer, RedGarden wall is pretty nice too. But I also like that one huge boulder up past chaos canyon and emerald lake, you know after you make it past all the pebbles and around the lakes this big boulder called Hallets comes into view, It's a sweet problem. It's hard to see it from the Emerald lake boulders though, so you have to hike a bit higher.

Ill go top 3, in no particular order:

Circus Trick - Big Bend, Moab
Bumboy - Horse pens 40
Cupcake - Vedauwoo

I think this beats out the Diamond.

The Eliminator, Rotary Park, Fort Collins, CO.
