And relic! You are correct.
Correct about your pic maybe, but not mine. JB should know, though.
I'm about to get on my bike and pedal home. Assuming I don't slip on any ice and break another hip, I should be home in about 45 minutes and will check in then to see if anyone gets the grand prize.

Arrrrgggggg! Get home safely, Ghost, and quick! By eliminating pretty much everything else, is that Mushroom? I haven't been there in a while and don't recall what it looks like.
edit:
Yes, thanks Anders. In the meantime I checked your photos of Mushroom from Squamish in the 70s.

There was ice, but my Number-Two bike is pretty dependable (even if Foodeater makes fun of it). Which is good, since my Number One bike was stolen last month.
As to the other thing, Harry would have won the Grand Prize if he hadn't been so tentative. "Is it Tantalus Wall somewhere?" Of course it's f*#king Tantalus Wall. Look at that tiny little tree way way up at the top. Remember the "hammer throw?" Tie a rope to your hammer and huck it way up and around that tree and save yourself twenty feet of aiding.
Anyway, the picture was taken from above the big roof when I climbed it with Mr. Serl back in the dinosaur age.

Well Big Mike, Jim's feet are almost as big as yours so those size 18 rock shoes will be great for the alpine

Yeeehaw! I hate to disappoint, but their only size 13. Hopefully they will still be big enough to accommodate extra sock layers for alpine missions. ;)

Hurray for Big Jim.
Many thanks for this thread, Big Mike, and all the contributors.
Thanks David for putting the headache to rest.
On the Tantalus Wall of today the double curve exfoliation feature is the only thing I can be sure of in Ghost's photo. Here is the section just above the big roof and tree:
