Best font 8As in font

Calling all list lovers!

Could anyone recommend me some world class 7C to 8As in font that aren't too crimpy....quick drying would also be a bonus!  ;)

Thanks in advance!  :) :)

If I could do Misericorde and Partage I'd be very happy.

Best of the ones I've done would be Irreversible and Hotline. See a trend here?

Vandale near JA Martin is top drawer, no crimps, big move, comfy holds, and there's a couple of equally good looking problems/linkups on that block for a chap of BF's calibre.

Also up at Mont Pivot there's Pancreas assis and Kendo which both look very good and not crimpy.

L'abbe resina for 7c, beaux quartiers for 8a, there is one crimp, but that's after the difficulty

In my fantasy bouldering team, this would be in at 7C http://bleau.info/cretenord/1436.html. In fairness there might be a crimp on somewhere.

l'apparement is class and if you aren't too short you hardly pull on the first crimp for jumping past it. cent pofs et sans reproche is also pretty great all round.

Haha

I really want to do beaux, but was too rubbish /weak, I think it's a class problem.

Imhotep does look proper good

Do you already have a list in your head that you want verified, or do you really not know many problems? If the former, please share as a starting point.

Hmmm heres a list....So far in my fantasy tick list I have

Karma (....ok not 8A)
Tigre et Dragon
misericord
Partage (8A+?)
Imoteph (Is invisible)
L'apparement
Appartenance

I guess im not totally avoiding crimps.....just boulders where you have to utterly ming down basically!

Tigre et dragon is generally more thuggy but the lh crimp at the top is prettttttty nippy and you have to pull dowb lretty hard on it

Miseriscorde is very crimpy for the right hand, but brilliant.
