Great route! Here is another...

A not that great pitch on a fantastic route, Shino on lead.

Edit: Not Beggars Buttress

Not Moratorium. That route, while stellar, is kind of the opposite of this one, in that the good pitches are down low, whereas this one has the good pitches higher up. 

Not DNB on MC Rock.

For the sake of keeping things moving, I'll guess that it's in the valley, likely something on the south side (north facing).

It's surprising that this hasn't been guessed yet. I thought maybe it was too easy! Then again, people often skip the 1st few pitches of this route, including this one. Maybe these days  everyone just traverses in at the halfway mark to climb the great pitches?

I've done it both ways, but IMHO every climber should do this entire route at least once in their lives.

FA's are legends. FA: Warren Harding & Glen Denny;  FFA Ron Kauk & John Yablonski.

Maybe those are enough hints?

Gonna guess Moratorium start to East Butt. Wasn't aware of it.

Isn't that Serenity Crack (ha ha...Bob!).  Not that my guess counts (Green A)...

Rostrum  stacked block variation second pitch kinda spooky to jam those wedges blocks 

If I’m right use Finn’s picture I guess

Correct it's The Rostrum. I am quite surprised it wasn't guessed faster!

Deleted my posts because I completely misunderstood how it  all works sorry guys. And yes, it was the green a.

Not at the Perch. I see the resemblance though.

Kind of reminds me of Elephant’s Perch granite… Beckey‘s route, perchance?

Bump and a hint to keep this moving: This climb is in a lesser-populated US state and makes the MP list of classics on that state’s page.
