So, me and my brother are moving in about 3 weeks, and are going to be driving from Seattle, Washington to Boston, Mass. For those of you who have looked into this, its simply Interstate-90 out of Seattle, and Interstate-90 into Boston. this takes us through:

Washington
Skinny part of Idaho
Montana
North Dakota
Minnesota
Wisconsin
Northeast Illinois (Chicaco)
Michigan/Indiana Border
North Ohio
Northwest Pennsylvania
New York
Massachusetts

so, knowing that, we are looking hit some classic climbing spots along the way. we aren't taking THAT much time to do this, but we definitely want to hit some great ones. Maybe 3, or 4 crag stops? you could even list the best in descending order! Any suggestions you could throw at me would be MUCH appreciated!

My girlfriend and I just finished up our drive from Portland to NYC - we hit the following:

Blogdett canyon, Montana - big granite routes
Cirque of the towers, wind river range, wy - more big granite, plus a day-long approach at over 10'000ft!
Rushmore area, South Dakota - we had plans to hit Spearfish canyon and the Needles, but ran out of time.

I suggest doing it like we did and spending most of your time west of the Missouri River - we pretty much made a bee line from there with some long driving days.
