Find the climber. Name the location and route.
Bonus for guessing the route from which the pic was taken.

I'm guessing the climber has just made the move onto the beast flake on recombeast with pic taken from gypsy, maybe?
edit: cool hurricane bill picture! more of that kind of weather today, eh? but next week looks ideal.

More NICE pics, Chief, esp the alpenglow shots. Thanks.
Cowpoke - Gypsy? You know I top out at .6 (and only with a tailwind), right? Miss Saigon anchors. I kept hearing swearing and muttering and then the climber popped over the shoulder and into view.
Hold onto your hat for the winds tonight.

Emac and Jim E have a Gypsy tale or two from this summer, I wish they'd do a TR.

But in the spirit of Perswig's post, who recognizes this summit view?
It's a popular place, probably not in New Hampshire.

Ed knows his Pinnacles!
Indeed ... there's no clue in my photo but I'll bet Ed can guess what route we climbed, too.

I'd guess Coyote Ugly because it is the more classic (and less chossy) of the routes up there...

You're right of course. I passed through Pinnacles recently for just a few hours, for the
first time since 1968.
Coyote Ugly was the funnest-sounding route I saw on a quick scan of Mountainproject
from our motel the night before.
In fact it was plenty fun, though I've no idea how it compares with whatever else we might
have chosen. For those not so Pinnacles-savvy, here is Matthew Fienup's beta photo
from Mountainproject.

I was greeted by this guy when topping out the other day.
He was nicely camouflaged, but I had this strange feeling that someone(thing) was watching me.
