You got it George! I thought it's an obscure route but I guess I'm wrong!

Paradise Lost at the Red Devil, Flatirons

Here's a quality, well-protected moderate route at a popular area - but this route is so rarely done it isn't even on MP. If you look closely you can see the rap ropes hanging from the p2 anchor:

A hint: this route is 2-3 pitches (most do not climb the last short pitch), and below one of the most popular multi-pitch routes in North America.

Would that be Graham Crackers?

Actually, both ropes in the picture are on Super-spreader. Paradise is just left and within the frame, so I’ll let you get away giving it to yourself.;)

Actually, Super-Spreader is to the right, the draws are definitely on Paradise. Top-rope is likely on Super-Spreader.

You’re right about the pictured leader. Our rope is toproping the last of our four on Super-spreader, after I led it.

Edit: Paradise Lost and Super-spreader are on the Red Devil, Central Flatirons. It’s up the trail to the north from Mallory Cave.

Mr Gordonifer is in Frenchman’s Coulee, Vantage, Washington.

OZ is in Tuolumne.

Where are these routes? Please remember to inform the rest of us, not in the know, where these very attractive climbs are located. True for the last several routes.

Guess it's too obscure? Here's another hint - this is the view looking out from the first belay:

Something in the five open books?

Looks like view from the Royal Arches area.

(Furiously consulting my Reid guidebook...) Wise Crack?

Greg Barnes · · American Safe Climbing Asso… · Joined Apr 2006 · Points: 3,423

Yep, Wise Crack! Anchor is good, we replaced it, it originally had a cool homemade stainless steel Leeper-shaped hanger:

Thank you for replacing the anchor!

War of the wall of the worlds!

Can't tell if it's the spicy direct start or not but the climber is about to embark on a glorious thin hands gift from god

Anthony H · · Bellingham, WA · Joined Dec 2011 · Points: 160

Too easy for you almostrad!

Helps when you’ve done the route almost a dozen times!

Coles up!
