Name That Route, Vol. V

Ha there you go. Since this thread is up and running again just keep going with it the way it is. So in regard to the OW above what about Coconut Corner |

Since my phone died I've lost virtually all climbing photos that aren't either bouldering pics or Maine obscurities, so I'll use someone else's photo of a very underrated moderate |

Gunks, somewhere in the wall where Arrow is. Can't remember the name |
|
|
Wild Turkeys? |

Quartz Conglomeratewrote: Close enough - Cold Turkeys (my favorite pitch on the main arrow wall). You're up! |

That's not pitch #2 of Athlete's Feat, is it? |
|

Hah; thought it looked vaguely familiar. Just did the first pitch in 1978 - complete with some sort of nose-grinding mantle, if I recall - and rapped off in triumph. Probably getting dark as well. You'll have to give me a few minutes while I find and photograph another suitable print, unless Norm would like to jump back in with his missed turn. |

I'll try this one. It's in Europe, but an area that I think sees a lot of visiting American climbers. The start of a long traverse on a classic route. The background should help. Post-limit edit:- Bingo! rpc has it, with Al close behind. After my apparently somewhat obscure previous European offerings I'm very relieved! As with many such routes in that part of the world - steep, fairly big and about 5.8/5.9 - it was first climbed in 1935. . |

Piz Pordoi is in the background. This would be something on Piz Ciavazes...Big Micheluzzi perhaps? |
|
|
My guess as well. |
|
|
|
|
|
Spigolo Giallo? |
|
|
|

With what looks like quite a long leftward traverse, the Cassin seems a likely contender. To be clear, that's the south side of the Piccolissima. |
|
|
Correct Ignatius. You're up! |

Here's a slightly less-cropped version:- Edit - to Kevin: You got it; I possibly overdid the 'less-cropped' bit! You were probably there at the time - 1979. Can you pinpoint the stance? |
