Bob, that thin hands picture is turning the bulge on Baby Robbins.

Okay, I think I know Henny's slabalicious picture for I see a faint clue at the top of the photo:

"Airstream?"

Edit: I think you're right about TSF, Bob, for there's the golf course in the background and that would make Airstream too low on the mountain.

People always forget about one of the best moderates there, in the "Y Crack, 5.10"

I've been out to the "Y" Crack ATS...many moons ago. I self belayed myself on both variations of the "Y" and practiced some self rescue techniques out there back in the 80's. It was a bushwhack then and can't imagine what it is now! Also, as you descend south from "Y" crack, you happen upon that obvious 5.9 OW that you can see from the road as you pass the yellow house at the bottom. Fond memories.

Ron, is Rick Allenby on what you're now calling, "Baby Pit Bull" on Tower #1?

bvb busted. Mark got it.

Top Secret File it is. I had to crop the photo to get enough of the background out of it to at least make it a little interesting. I fully expected either Doug or Mark to identify the problem right off.

That picture of Johnny... Is that one of those problems on the way down to Stealth Bomber? I eliminated SB because (no disrespect, seriously) Ron said he had soloed it once (correct me if I'm wrong). I don't know of any SB solos. Just soloing Rick's Crack or whatever that stupid thing is to set up the anchor for SB was exciting the first time. The backgound implies that area it seems to me.

I almost said one of the Vision/Night Vision pair. But then again, Ron's comment about soloing eliminated those. Both of those problems are way too big with way to hard of moves to be soloing unless one is, shall we say, slightly dialed on super thin crimping/smearing. Even then, it's pretty likely we'd have to start using the past tense if someone went for the solo of either one... they were slightly dialed... Plus, the backgound is a little skewed for those I think.

So, after a bunch of rambling on, I come back to suspecting that it's one of the larger things on the way to SB?

Then again, maybe not. Obviously I don't have a clue.

I don't expect the context to be enough in the first picture for many decent guesses but we'll see. The picture doesn't do justice to how small and sharp the holds are. The second picture could obviously be more in focus, but I still expect people to know what it is.

I think the second one is the lite and fluffy but always satisfying Lemon Chiffon

Henny, I'm gonna go with Welcome to Rubidoux and Aids Victim. Ron, you've got me stumped. I was thinking one of those with Rick and Johnny had to be 49th Street but the orientation just doesn't seem right. I'm kind disappointed with myself for not bing able to identify the roadside problem you're on.

BVB, I thought the problem you posted was called Grand Central Station. But upon further inspection, we always called that slanting seam to the right GCC. Not sure if this is right, however.

Dannnnng Mark! I expected the second, but not the first. That big of a give-away, eh? It's a fairly nasty pull to just step off the ground so one can get to the party later.

Im on one of the two face problems known as "the 5.11 faces" directly across the road from the bobby brown arete.

I have to give the 2nd one to henny, John is on one of the "5.10 faces", which is indeed on the way to stealth bomber

Rick is climbing on the "good for the soul" wall, downhill from the missing link. Several quality 5.10 lines on a 35 ft tall slab

Yeap. Correct on both accounts. Asylum and Korean Cowboy.

I should go for the lotto after that lucky guess on the picture of Johnny. Hey, what's my prize? And don't tell me it's a guided tour of all the Woodson mantles.

More pictures please, I know you people have 'em.
