Crescent Crack?  AZ somewhere

Crescent crack on table mountain is right. You're up Rob.

Ah crap. All I ever take pictures of is obscure choss:

is what this tells me. 


I’ll give this one a day or so

More Sand Than Stone on Tooth Rock?

Obv folks, unsurprisingly,  need a hint.

Contrary to the assessment of the (recently departed) second ascentionist, this has not become the route of choice on the formation.

Did Ed Webster do the second ascent of the West Face of Castleton? I have vague recollection of one of the early ascent parties expressing the route was quite good..

I dunno, but that’s not germane to this pic.

I just listened to Jimmie Dunn on some podcast and you should hear the NH accent on that guy, still!

Well, Jimmie did grow up in NH and then later guided there for a number of years, so the accent isn’t a surprise.

I've never heard that one. Just looked through the entire listing and can't see it there either. Could it have been a different podcast, or perhaps the one that Kalous had before the Enormocast? Thanks.

Ok maybe it wasn’t that podcast. I just drove for 3 days straight. Tell Kalous that he’s attained Kleenex status, at least with me.


Not a/the Dunn route. 

Hi Rob. No problem, and sorry if I put you on the spot. Climbing history is a major interest of mine, and Dunn is certainly a huge figure in US climbing history - albeit somewhat under the radar nowadays; if he's been a guest on a climbing podcast I'm very keen to listen to it. I'll do a search - and would obviously appreciate any relevant input from the MP 'massive'!

It was Luke Mehall’s podcast.  

Ah - excellent; thanks very much!

Ok, so this is going nowhere.  That one is the Hydrophobic Coyote, a 3rd-rate adventure on Bridger Jack Butte. I'm glad no one recognized it. 

Bit more of a softball, but you'll need to look closely:

*Not the Cruise.

Looks like the Black but I’m not super familiar with the routes there so I’ll have to throw out a most basic guess with The Cruise.

Journey home?

Checkerboard? Kinda hard to tell from that angle..

Maiden Voyage?

Jeff G · · Buena Vista · Joined Feb 2006 · Points: 1,286

or maybe Black Shadow Arete?

Derek F · · Carbondale, CO · Joined Jun 2007 · Points: 401

Opening pitches of Atlantis / No Country for Old Men?
