Not The Peanut, although rock color matches.

Not Yosemite Point Buttress, although the amount of vegetation may be similar! :-)

Way too steep and broken for the Peanut. But I don't have a guess.

I can't play because Clint told me the name of the route, but I can confirm that it is in Yosemite.

Looks more like something by the Waterfall Route of Lower Yosemite Fall, except it's too high off the ground.

Not Waterfall Route at Lower Yosemite Fall (though rock color probably matches).
Not Smokey Pillar.
Maybe it was a bit too hard, so I added 2 more photos. Still not at all easy, though....

Oh now you added more pictures.
So now we are over by the Bridalveil Falls area.

Getting warm - it is in the Bridalveil Falls area.
Not Overhang Bypass.
Midget Chimney - close, but not quite. We could have climbed up to that, but we did not go that way.
Our crux pitch diverged from that route, well below the Midget Chimney.

can you approach it from both 140 and 120 or just 120?

Kev,
I'm not sure about the road designations there.
I used to say that 120 goes all the way to the Valley floor,
to intersect with 140 at Mojo Tooth. Then you could call it
120 or 140 or 41 to El Cap Meadow and Yosemite Village. But
I'm not sure what it's labelled officially.
Shortest approach is from the Bridalveil Falls parking lot.

A sub-peak of Mount Kenya is called Midget Peak. But I guess it's not that.
