Dang!  Yes, of course!  The hint he gave should have given it away.

This one is much more obscure - not even on MP - despite being a classic long free climb of the 1960s! The background should give plenty of clues (photo was taken from an adjacent route).

Nope, quite a ways further west along the wall...


edit: yep, Chartres!

Not Hospital 

Not the Line.

Not at the Leap

Not Big Deal and not in Pine Creek

Not Mammoth Crest or in the Sierra

A hint to keep it rolling.

Central corner on haystack

This is a random-ass guess, but Black Elk?

Central Corner it is.  Norm is up!

This is going to be tough one I think, but I have to put it here because it's one of my proudest new routes.

Edit: Right Prow. North Buttress of the West Maiden, Arrigetch Range. V. 5.9+

One of the most recognizable faces in the world, in my opinion. The Maiden. Which route on it is yours?

James! I didn’t think that would happen so quick. We climbed the obvious prow.

Well done. I may well have to make my way there one day. There are very few routes I have done that are worthy enough to follow The Maiden but I think this one gets close. Use that as a hint if necessary. The starting pitch of a route that gets considerably better.

Back to Norm’s picture. I see 2 obvious prows. Did you do the left or right one. What grade. And, to further show my ignorance, what range?
