Name That Route, Volume VII

Not sure I deserve to go next given I was way off on the route (Rifle would've been guess #2 from the appearance and hint but since I've never been I'd have no idea which route) but oh well. 

It's bouldering season so all I've got are crappy photos of small rocks, which nobody wants to look at, so here's someone else's photo of a route I've been eyeing.

Edit: not Risky Business but I see the resemblance. Different state.

Not excommunication either. Getting very warm though.

Not Fine Jade either. Only a few face climbs in the area left!

With that hint I'm thinking it's something in Castle Valley?

Face climbing option on final pitch of Fine Jade?

Man, you guys are really, really close. I will not chime in with a route because I stumbled on a photo of this by pure accidental serendipity. I have not even climbed this formation.

Nope, not Sacred Ground either.

If nobody gets it in the next few hours I'll give it to BFK for being the first to get the region right.

Can’t remember the name but there is that bolted calcite climb on the nuns?

a couple days with no guesses so a hint: you've probably taken a beginner up this route near Boulder, CO
