Show a photo that illustrates "the sharp end" for you. In addition to this one below (courtesy mp.com) I'm thinking of some pics I've seen on here of - Pictures on a Landscape - Bachar Yerian - Briggs on Death and Transfiguration
Those are mostly crag examples, but any and all are welcome.

why you got to set such
a high bar with the opening picture?
huh?
5.11d thin r.p.'s
10' out?
i mean, come on?
you must consider your audience,
an tiptoe thru our
complex web of emotions
and sensitivities.
now i'm ashamed to
post up some glossy
of me 3' above a #3
on some 5.9.
you get nothing from me.
come back with some humility
and then i'm yours.

The palm sweating thread!
This one doesn't look bad, but the only pro is a tipped open #3 or #4 in
an exfoliating dirty pocket, could barely get the thing to stay put to
climb past it (and the ridge I'm dependent on at the moment in this pic
is flexing in my hand while I try to get something in. It's 5.9s like
this that made me afraid of trying 5.10 for a long time.

This from Figures on a Landscape seems to do the job.
Chiloe--that traverse on Figures makes my blood run cold every time, no matter how many times I've done it. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Le_bruce has been known to avoid a placement or two to keep the rope running free:

Big Mike, that last pic is a classic! Pulls me into that feeling a lot more than just seeing a lot of rope out.
