Just over a week ago in typical Welsh weather I reached to top of Bubbly Wall (nothing to do with Bolly) and surprisingly found myself on the summit of Tryfan. The only other climb that I recall finishing on a summit are Reades Route up Crib Goch, and South Ridge Direct on Arran. Any others in this country? Obviously this happens a lot in the Alps and elsewhere.

Direct Nose Route on Sgurr an Fhidlheir, also possibly some of those over the road on Stac Pollaidh? Maybe Skyline Highway on Slioch?
Plenty of stuff on Skye.

Great Western at Almscliffe, thus reaffirming it as a route worthy the 5 star rating.

Ben Nevis routes
Savage Slit
Hen Cloud Bachelors routes.
Whither Whether is a personal favourite.
What about those aretes on the Nantlle Y Garn?

Pillar Buttress ends more or less on a summit. Not as good as Tryfan for posing though.

You forgot the mighty Aiguille de Tegness!

In reply to Sean Kelly:

South Ridge of Rhinog Fach, as well as both the new routes on Patent Examiner's Wall on the same mountain. Only the perverse would belay to the trig point though.

Steeple Buttress (S)

Quite a few on Pillar if you count that as a summit.

And The Cobbler

Commando Crack on Sgurr Alasdair. One of the best severes in the country too.

If you don't mind winter routes Central Trinity and Left Hand Trinity top out virtually on the summit of Snowdon and my personal favourite Gully 2 on Red Tarn pops out right on the summit of Hellvelyn - to the usual astonishment of the crowd sheltering behind the summit wall.

Cosmiques Arête finishing on the Aiguille de Midi cable car station is also fun for the tourist factor. (Apologies - just noticed you didn't want anything from the Alps)

Resurrection, on Sgurr Mor, Fannaichs. Last pitch belay is the summit cairn. On my bucket list.....
