Name that Route, Vol IV.

Ah, Bob that makes sense. Has the right level of chossiness and vegetation :)

Not Atlantis, though I see the resemblance.

Atlantis in The Needles?

Is that the crux pitch on the Rostrum? Taken from the ledge you can traverse in on? It's been 20 years since I've been on it, but it looks similar to what I remember.

Somewhere in Tuolumne Meadows?

That’s the right area.  Maybe the route is more obscure than I thought. It’s not listed in Mountainproject.

Would it be Mr Kamps?

Ryan, Mikey, wrong dome.

I feel like I should be able to place this one Bob though, I'm sorta making some wild guesses here.  Would it be on the far right side of Medlicott?  Lechlinski Flake?

Got it!  Lechlinski Flake.

While I appreciate Bob’s submission because the picture is cool and Mikey showing off is awesome, may I respectfully submit that this picture is pushing the boundaries of what relatively well known constitutes?

Per the OP, it is suggested that “3) It's supposed to be fun, not impossible. Some obscure pic of a route behind the local garbage dump isn't going to be any fun because nobody can guess it.”

No, I am not suggesting that Tuolumne is the local garbage dump :)

Nonetheless, sweet picture Bob, thank you for sharing! Mikey’s turn.

Ya, that last one was pretty far out there.  It isn't even in the guidebooks anymore!  I won't lie, I had to do a little sleuthing to figure it out.

It's either Crimson Cringe or Fish Crack

Since I've never climbed either of them, there's no way I can keep them straight in my head, too similar

yep, it is Crimson.  Figure I’d throw up a softball to keep it moving!

Much obliged.

In the spirit of keeping things easy, this route usually has a minimum of 3 parties at the base of it on a weekend

Honest, I didn’t know it was an obscurity.  That thing is five star!
