In addition to Dan's points above (though I bristle at the idea the moose rhymes with caboose; strictly speaking, it does not), the "low profile" bit in the original clue could allude to the fact that Caboose is closed due to access issues. But the bookcase, 80K earnings, and 'too much information' hints I can't connect at all to "Caboose". But for the sake of moving on, I hope Dan's right!

Yes; I wondered about the rhyming - but I recalled a song lyric about a '"moose with a loose caboose" which seemed to rhyme ok so I went with it. [Didn't realize that there might be a slightly unsavoury lower-bowel connection here.] I was sure it was from the B52s - and had come up with a clue about 'large birds flying out of Minot AFB' - but couldn't confirm the connection; and may well be wrong.

'Too much information' was simply because I thought it might be a total giveaway clue.

Edit: A point of interest: I just reviewed my previous post and noticed that the "I earned 80K last year" example quote had vanished, leaving just an empty <>. No idea why. I reinstated it.

Well that was indeed some clever (and intense!) cluing. Though I think perhaps you overestimate the aptitude of the group! Actually though, I (and probably others) just aren't used to seeing such deep thought and cryptology in this thread. I'm primed for the next one now though! Kudos.

NICE! 

I was hoping this one would be quick and easy!

You're up Anthony

Well it was definitely easier than the last one! 

Next hint:

This route aspires to be something one letter grade harder, even if it's just for a brief moment in time.

Edit: not Hawkins Mountain

Climbing this may save you from Chorea. Or perhaps give it to you...? Best climbed on the 28th of June (or the 15th of June if you're old school).

No one? I guess all the regulars here must be too busy chasing the primo December climbing conditions.

St. Vitus' Dance

St Vitus' Dance is correct. Yours again, Anthony!

The filming of a scene in this Oscar nominated movie took place on this route. (Okay I think it actually took place on several adjacent routes so any of these routes would be accepted.)

Were they on SS Ultrabrutal? I was living up there and climbing at index when all the filming was going on but can’t remember for sure.

Typically a specific mode of transportation, a willing companion, and not being claustrophobic are necessary to gain membership; skip the hassle and hop on this sunny 5.10 multi-pitch.
