Does anyone know what route is featured on the cover of Don Mellor's 'American Rock'? Great book btw.

Not positive, but I think it is Rock Lobster (5.11) at Broken Tooth.

rock lobster? you boys on crack? :) the lobster doesn't have much varnish on it, and you can't see inflictor just to the right in this photo. the route is SC Memorial up at Sacred Cow wall.

What slim said...didn't even consider inflictor...its been a while since I've been on those lines.
