Name That Route Volume VIII

Savelli Express? Only popular route I can think of out there that isn't either single-pitch or 5.9.

Ayy, the compulsive road trip research pays off.

Name either route that uses this arete.

Witness to Violence? I swear this and Price For Fire look the same. Other route on the arete would be Z is last.

Yep, you got it. Haha every time I drive through town I try to figure out which of the 10 identical-looking bulges on the ridgeline is which route. From a distance they all look the same. In person this one's like 1/3 as big as Price for Fire. 

Edit: Per Alan's request, the arete I posted is the top of a short, very bouldery 5.13 that goes up the overhang below. It's also used by a safe but committing 5.8ish route that traverses out from the dihedral to the left, using smeared feet right on the lip of the roof. This is at Morrison (home of Red Rocks Amphitheater), better known for its contrived bouldering cave.

PFF is high on my list to get to this winter!

For this one, just name the (not really developed at all) canyon it was taken

Matt and Tal please remember to tell the rest of us where these climbs are, such as the previous one. You guys clearly have that information, but many of us don’t, but would very much like to know.

Whoops - hadn’t seen a post on this one. I’ll give a hint and if nobody has it by the start of 24HHH tomorrow I’ll post a new one.
Hint: it’s in Wyoming and contains granite, limestone, and sandstone in about a 10 mile stretch. Front range climbers are likely to drive through it en route to a popular and…”customized” destination. It is listed on MP.


Edit: not Shirley or tensleep but it is close to ten sleep

The game is name that route, not name that undeveloped canyon…

Not trying to be rude but you stalled it for over a week

Tal is my brother and I apologize on his behalf as he’s currently in horseshoe hell and probably won’t be back for a day or two. Let’s get this going again with actual rock. Please feel free to continue to shame him however
