Fiend, you heathen, Pair in a cubicle is pure class.  In fact it should be the only problem on grit.

Cos Jerry's is an arse scraping eliminate traverse, and Deliverence fulfills virtually every criteria you could have for a class problem?

And when that comes from a stumpy beast who can path Jerrys yet will be about 15 feet short of the finishing jug on Deliverence - you know it must be true  :D

 What Ru said.

 This is a thread about problems which are exceptionally good climbing experiences, this doesn't necessarily make them rights of passage. Read the original post.
 WSS is an abbreviation of West Side Story and on my list. Blind Date and Green Trav are not up there with the best, in my opinion, hence not included.
 Like Dave sez, Western Eyes is a neo classic these days and sees plenty of repeats. It's fine with a couple of pads and a spot. If you do the bottom you are unlikely to fall off the top anyroad.
