Are these other places better? They are (mostly) on a larger scale, and sometimes it's good just to go somewhere different. And you can go to the UK places, other than P+M, for a weekend. If you've got the time and money for an extended trip it's usually worth considering somewhere that's a bit harder to reach.

I'm so sure Speaking of States climbing areas has anyone been to the Black and/or Eldorado Canyon? They both look fantastic!I've climbed in Eldorado Canyon. Was underwhelmed by Naked Edge tbh - a bit like a multi-pitch Millstone route. I suspect the Black is an acquired taste.

Been to Pabbay/Mingulay 3 times now, going to Fair Head in the spring...the others can be done with much less time than a month.We did take a wee bit of a spanking in the Valley last time - so we'd heed that advice and start off easy! Also re: The Hulk - is it feasible to lug enough stuff up there for a few days?
Not sure if Peter Croft's 'Good, the great and the awesome' guidebook is still available?
Possibly not considered long, but too good to miss:Boney Fingers, Whitney portal 5.10 or 11b face. 3 pitchesCrazy hidden gem, my pic-http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.html?id=247469
BMC? All I've ever used TBH. Choose type of climbing and duration, pay the price, no bother.

Some suggestions of this ilk from the unavoidable Sarah Stirling: 5 multipitch sport crags near accommodation owned by ex-pat. Brits. Sinsat does look very good from the road.

You climbed in Ordesa JWI?I bought the new guide last year when I was in Saint Sebastian and it's got me well keen for a trip. I walked through there years ago while walking the GR trail.
I'm very keen to do RACS, but my wife refuses.
