hey there mister E... say, you will have to tell me, i reckon... is it due to:
1--the rope...
2--the man...
3--the place...
4--obvious reason that i surely missed...
5--secret trick reason...
okay, on with the quiz, or "shock affect pic"...

I don't see any pro, and it looks to be a long swing to the
right if he doesn't get that nut in his mouth in. And even if
he does, it looks sketchy.
Did he make it?

Looking for person, place, time and climb!
Hint:
I got this picture for part of the New Northern Arizona Guidebook history.
Edit: neebee, #2 & #3 were right

hey there mister e... say, well then, i have analized a bit to the proper flow!
say, too bad i am not a climber, or i could search for "pulling the ol' rabbit out of the ol' cowboy hat... :)
say, i will come back off and on, and see how this goes...
*as to the PLACE----WOW, it is getting more exciting now (no offence to the guy) ... but places can be notorious as to dangerous routes, i have learned already...
*nice interesting picture, by the way, too, mister e...
later, you can tell us who took it... and perhaps where he was, nearby, too, when he took it...

Close, Bob - not Coats, or Dresdoom
Edit: But the picture was taken by a Coats?

Judging by the angle that his waist belt takes over his right hip, his harness is coming off/not properly attached.

Ding! We have a name and an answer to the fright.
What's the route, and the grade for the bonus?

There's a letter towards the end of the alphabet that is missing, but otherwise spot on.

Yes. All that is missing is the route name.

hey there mister e... say, i am back.. and have learned more... say, i was wondering about how the rock seems to have a sloping affect down, to the his left, for each area that he would grab, to pull up on----is THAT what you meant by slopers... ???
i didnt know if that is commmon or uncommon.. say, can you post a bit more about handling all that...
say--did it mention how his climb turned out...
ex: slower than hoped for, faster than expected--you get my drift... any thing else shared would be very interesing and good-learning...
will have to come back tomorrow, though to see it all...
and say, one more question:
p.s.
what kind of climbs does steve do now a days:
if he still climbs... or, what is he up to, etc... or where is he, etc... just wondering...

the rock he's climbing on is marginal at best. in some places it still resembles the sand dune it once was.

Looks like towards the top of Earth Angle Spire, but that is not rated X, merely R.
