The Five Toughest Runs in the East

[chuckstah]

The gully next to chin clip is pretty friggin hard

Riverbed?

Lots of great suggestions, ignoring the crowd and condition-generated ones. LeMassif has the Charlevoix, which short of Tuckerman Ravine, is the longest sustained steep that I can recall.

It's interesting the the OP chose some intersections as most difficult. Grand junction at SR, I have years of experience with. It's never a big deal to me as it is a stopping point to collect my wife or other friends.

In my experinces, I choose these trails. If we are going to start talking about off piste, that is a totally different list:
1) Paradise - MRG
2) Goat - Stowe
3) Liftline - Sugarbush
4) Black Diamond - Sugarbush
5) Several different ways down off the snow feilds at Sugarloaf.
also the chutes off of the top of Jay but I can only pick 5.

And the stuff in between is pretty fucking rad I found out a couple months ago

I seem to recall, a few years ago someone discovered a cliff the hard way in there (between Tramline and Kinsman Glade), and did not survive.

Ok, I'll do it. Downspout.
