True indeed, Himalayan mountains offer a lot of technical climbing on their South Face. I also agree on South Face of Aconcagua even more, because the first route was by a team of French climbers I admire a lot !
Considering your comment (which I find very useful) I'm gonna improve the page into "World Greatest Mountain Faces"... this way it can be any direction ! ;o)
for I wasn't the submitter, but I believe this is the most impressive wall in the whole Pyrenees: http://www.summitpost.org/image/187356/164934/vignemale-massif-north-face.html
It does have some tough climbing at the Couloir de Gaube (http://www.summitpost.org/route/164934/couloir-gaube.html)

Nice idea!An album for dreaming - as I will never make the famous north faces in my life! They are too difficult!
Good idea!
