[Hide Comment] In Jemez Rock, "Boy What Nice Fellows" (11b, TR) is described as the face between "Squeeze Chimney and "Boy What Assholes", going right and joining "Assholes" at the top. The lower half of this TR problem likely shares terrain with the more recently bolted "Nice Guys Finish Last", but branches right mid-way up. This would put it to the right of "Nice Guys" in the left-to-right route list.

The face with the OW on it (described here) is "Squeeze Chimney" (5.10d). May 14, 2016
