Hail to Hanuman, P2.

Darrell is up, though I think it’s pitch 3

I guessed P2 because the long ledge down and left (when looking down) seemed close enough.  Might be be P3 though.  Hard to tell, kind of similar pitches.

I don't have pictures available.   Jeff G was only a route or 2 away so maybe he can go, or someone else so we don't stall the thread.

Edit: You're right about the pitch.  I was forgetting or not counting the easy first pitch.  

Someone go.

Emission Control? This looks like Cadillac Crag with the little tree on Deviant

Hard for an ex-gunks climber to miss that one!

Here's a potentially tricky one - name the crag, or the route for bonus points. Note: not my photo, but one I've saved as a reminder for future travel planning. If nobody guesses it I'll post a replacement tomorrow.

Reiff Sea Cliffs?? I've been curious about that place... "Fancy sunny cragging by the sea watched by dolphins and whales.... no it's not the Med- its north-west Scotland!!".

Wrong cliffs, right corner of the world! Reiff looks awesome too, though. Gotta love sea cliffs! 

EDIT: Kevin, you're spot on - it's Rora Head, the cliffline just south of the Old Man of Hoy. The route is 'Roaring Forties', a bold 5.10 if my UK conversions are up to snuff. That whole area looks beautiful but the weather looks impossible.

You're up!

Pretty sure it's not the Old Man of Hoy but I would guess it's something near there in the Orkney Islands.

Where the wild things are? Haven’t climbed it but recognize it from a photo of a friend who was psyched on it at some point…

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
