You got it! A long, mellow and quality route.

where?

That is a view of the Bookmark from the Book on Lumpy Ridge. The Left Book is also in the background, though it blends in with the Bookmark, and The Pear is in the far background.

what formation/route are the climbers on?

To keep it going ...

Good day, sunshine!

Sorry, got a little jumpy — the climbers are on Hot Licks.

Yup. I thought it would be fast, but not that fast!

How is Ramblin Rose a closer guess than Lord of the Flies? Lord of the Flies shares 4 pitches with Trail of Tears

The beautiful thin hands finish to Exasperator

Exasperation. Squamish B.C.

Exasperator.

fyi, clicking on the photo links to the MP photo page that you took it from, which identifies the route. I decided I would have guessed that anyway after zooming in on the photo, so I'm posting the answer.

Rookie mistake JeffG., but a DAMN good picture. Makes me wanna go THERE and climb THAT route. Totally good pic.

Sorry, I wasnt familiar with Lord of the Flies ... Does it include the pitch in the photo?

I'll go ahead and post on the basis that Wombat slightly missed on the name.

Lord of the Flies joins Trail of Tears and the end of Trail's first pitch. (and I assume the photo is from the first pitch? so I was still wrong, just closer than R. Rose...)

Yep. Not sure what's up with CI deleting his correct answer, but i guess it's yours.

some ice action!

I think that was the third pitch so you were correct - you should jump in and post a pic.

Thats interesting that the only thing that differentiates the 2 routes is the first pitch. Pitch 1 of T of T is a pretty forgetable compared to the rest of the route - maybe one or other of these routes needs to get the axe.
