Is there a boulder problem somewhere that is so good, you would road-trip from across the country just to be able to do it again?? Let me know what it is, its rating, and why it is so great. This can be a problem of ANY rating. Personally, I'm more interested in problems that most people haven't heard of. And I ask the rating, because if it is really good, some of us might just come try it out (that way we'll know if it's way too hard for us).
To start things off:
There are two that come to mind for me. One is "Soul Cleanser V4" at the Blowing Rock boulders in North Carolina. The other is probably the "Kahuna Roof V5" problem at Carter Lake in Colorado. Soul Cleanser is a perfect, rising line of crimps up a blank, overhung face. So you're traversing up, up and up and then, you lunge for the edge of this plate-shaped boulder and pull on over. "kahuna" is very different.. start underneath a severely overhung boulder and make a huge slap to a sloper, then a tremendous deadpoint to a sidepull high above the roof. Both problems are in pristine surroundings and if they are at your limit, you would definantly not regret spending a whole day to bag the sends.
peace,
