Well mate I've really got to say that I can't think of a better arete route for the grade than EOP's 2nd pitch and in ~15yrs of climbing up there I certainly haven't found one that's beaten it for rock quality, length, sustained climbing, position and 'remoteness'.
I guess you could arguably say Peroxide Blonde or Butterflies are Doodle (etc) would be close but they all lose out big time with regard to length, sustained climbing (maybe not Butterflies) and 'remoteness'.
If there is one out there that's better than EOP's 2nd pitch please let me know!!
