Is that the notorious supercrack?

Saign you got it!  Supercrack is a bit on the notorious and obscure side.  I wonder if people climb it these days?  When I was up there it sure didn’t seem like it got any traffic.  That photo is probably from ‘08.

I haven’t done it, but I recognized the photo because a friend and I were just talking about going to give it a go last week and saw that photo on cascade climbers.

Anyways you can’t see much of the route from this photo, but if you’ve been there, you should know the view.

Not in North America.  Not my picture, my phone got very soggy on this trip.

Hah - sorry about that!

Was wondering how this one would work out; it's a photograph of an old print taken from the original color slide:-

To Nathan: Half Dome, certainly. I think we need the route, though.

To Bryan: not Regular Northwest Face.

I could perhaps mention that the guy in the photo made the first winter ascent of the Cassin on Denali.

Like usual I have no idea. Half Dome?

Regular Northwest Face.

Tis-sa-ack?

At first I sorta though it was Zenytta and the white rock was the zodiac up and right but the left facing dihedrals didn’t look right.

Mikey is right I think, first route put up in the Valley using helmets.

That's the one! The photo's taken from an intermediate belay on a short bolt ladder midway on pitch 13, just before an expanding overlap that provided one of the route's technical cruxes and immediately above the two-pitch-or-thereabouts section that is expected to fall off imminently. [I presume it hasn't gone yet?]

Over to you, Mikey.
