A list of reasonably long, somewhat hard, approximately alpine and predominantly rocky climbs to get excited about.

Suggestions welcome, as there are a million things I don't know about.

Rough criteria: beautiful alpine setting, high quality rock, minimum length of about 200m or 5 pitches (or a situation to make up for it if shorter), pitched rock climbing rather than mountaineering, minimum difficulty roughly equivalent to E1, maximum difficulty loosely defined at an arbitrary level of 'too hard for me'.
