A super unique, and probably the best named route on the planet... Hooray for Boobies at Tensleep Canyon, WY:
More mixed climbing silliness in NH:

Wootles--What an awesome thread! Thanks for returning the rock-n-ice to ST. (And I love your dry-tooling rock-robatics.)
Bob D.--I want those neon blue tights. If they're hidden away in your closet somewhere, dig 'em out an mail 'em to me please. If you're still wearing them...well...er...never mind.
RC--Did you see the photo of Cochise Stronghold? Bring back any nice memories????

This was source of inspiration, we refer to it as 'dream crack'. Mojede stumbled upon it during a spring hike, but since it was north facing and a bit snowy, we decided to wait on it. It's almost 30 feet tall and goes from tight fingers to wide hand/fists at the top. IMHO this is one of the best problems on the Delmoe road...
So yesterday evening we went to go get on it. It's a bit of a hike through the sage, pines, and junipers to reach this particular problem...especially if you think it's better to B line it, instead of going in the way you were shown...
We did run into a couple along the way though...
And eventually made our way the objective...
man, this thing would be just ridiculous without the good starting feet...
because getting feet after it is pretty difficult...
Darkness came before the send and we had to head back to the rig...somehow though, navigating back through the forest in the dark is not as straight forward as it seems...a 20 minute hike turned into a 70 minute hike, but somehow we managed to stumble back onto the road...
As I type this, my fingers are battered and cut up from the attempts and my ego is a bit bruised from taking such a genius way through the woods, but I think my memory will just remember the sweetness of the problem. Next time though, I'm sticking to the original approach...

Tom, apparently one has to want this thing pretty bad to get it, unless you have Fruh strength, cause it keeps looking better and my fingers say that looks are deceiving.

Marshall, AC is right, that's The Fracture at Sugarloaf. Some folks were just talking about it on the .10d thread. Here's another shot of it:
These two are of Taurus, a 60 second amble down-slope from The Fracture.
When this nut finally settled in it was a thank-god placement for me that day:
