Mostly conventional choices, but Central Route on Atlantic Slab gets in for the purist version avoiding the escapes right; The Great Pretender on Lewis climbs an amazing feature in an impressive setting but before the new guide it probably got most of its ascents from people thinking it was Sunset Rib; and Red Slab on A' Mhaighdean gets few ascents (being 5 hours from a road) but is a mind-blowing route with ridiculous exposure for the grade.
