What Are Your Favorite and/or Best Climbs?

Question for the masses; I've seen LFT and the Cirque on a few "Will not climb" lists. Just wondering why? It's not technically that difficult of a route; just long and remote. Is it just the logistics? I'm interested as I'm heading up there this summer.

 

I would love to go, but it is hard for me to justify the expense. If I am going to spend several thousands dollars to fly in and climb somewhere I would rather go into the Revelations or some other range in Alaska where I have either many route options or a single bigger objective (like the Cassin on Denali). Maybe someday, I'll have to see.

 

Blodgett Canyon is awesome. I haven't climbed any of the rock routes in there yet, but did ice climb Blodgett falls last winter. It is definitely a cool valley with some awesome looking spires.
