Many times i spot a line by first seeing an awesoem single feature (ie heocu pocket) and then i try and link others features on the wall to incorporate this into a full line.

even climbs with no obvious features can be lines because they climb in a logical manner and are climbing lines.

Many a time you visit a crag that you have visited before and suddenly find "new" lines, I have to agree with neil, you see a feature aspect on teh rock and decide, yep theres gotta be a line there some where.

That which is described as "obvious" and is subsequently used as a reference point for every other climb at the crag.
For example: 572m right of the obvious line is a delightful slab climb which emerges from the jungle and rises delicately through the moss to an exciting top-out.
