Keeping the theme and traveling south, this pitch is also named for a potentially deadly feature. Located at an adventurous area that may be going up in smoke.

Found on a wall named after the sienna-barked trees, the name of this route might have applied to people like Bezos and Musk, had they been alive during the 19th century.  A character from a novel by Edith Wharton or Henry James might have said of them, "Mais monsieur, money does not a gentleman make," though of course they would have sounded classier.

Fairly close to a route Saign did not too long ago but here is this one- 

This route is the crag’s namesake. Thankfully the crux is a finger crack and roof rather than St. Peter himself.

This route is almost certainly the most manufactured route in the PNW.

Wrong and wrong!

Edit: to further my clue, it could probably be argued that this route is so manufactured that it barely deserves a place on mountainproject.

This one could go a lot of ways: Marymoor, UW Rock, or the buildering routes around UW campus all fit the description

No correct answers so far. 

Next hint: this solitary route shares the name of the feature it lies underneath, which was not named by climbers.
