In that order.

Definitely the NE Ridge of Bugaboo. Crowded classic though.

 

W. Ridge of Pigeon is awesome also.

 

Kain Route is so so. Tons of scrambling to get to the good climbing.

 

Lions Way is great for a short outing.

 

If you can climb 5.9, Surf's Up is a great route, with only short 5.8 cruxes.

 

North Ridge of North Howser is supposed to be great, but I haven't done it.

The North Ridge of North Howser is number 4 on my list.
