Nobody's going to mention EGLC (London City, London, England)?!
The ILS glideslope to the runway is twice as steep as a standard approach. Try it in anything larger than a BAe-146 or A318 and its a truly
challenging approach.
If you want to deal with complex/dangerous instrument approaches, check out KROA and KAVL. Flown into both a number of times and
they are both very challenging airports. During initial training for a lot regional airlines (ASA, American Eagle, Piedmont, Colgan), almost
all the sim work you do is out of these two airports because of the challenges presented by high terrain (7,000 foot mountains all around
AVL).
