Direct copy from Tony B on Mountain Project...
OK, it's cold out. No climbing in 1/2 the country, so it's time for a game of Name That Climb.
For those who have not played before, it works this way:
1) O.P. puts up a picture of a route.
2) People guess the route.
3) If a correct answer is given, the 1st correct guesser puts up a new picture.
4) Rinse and Repeat.
Suggestions-
If you are the first correct guesser, and you are 100% sure, go ahead and post the new picture
If there are a lot of guesses and nobody gets it for 2 days, then someone can post a new picture.
If there are a lot of guesses and nobody is sure because the OP doesn't anwser for 2 days, again, someone else post a new pic.
I'll start this one off with easy money for someone:

Nope, not a new route and not in the Valley.

Here is another perspective of the route from lower down.

Tsunami it is, and that first pic shows the curious "Kick out" move described in the Cottrell guide.
Greg, you probably replaced the anchors on that one no doubt.

Greg Barnes

No, never been on it or replaced anchors on it (or too near it), and I had no idea with the first photo, but the right-facing roof traverse plus the blatant "it's at Cal Dome" location and it wasn't hard to guess!

That looks like the river not a meadow, and the road is in the photo too.
It's gotta be Parkline. Maybe Costa Rica or the Soloist?
Edited to add: After further thought it looks like a long route. It's gotta be Eagles Eyrie.

One at a time here please, I got rather confused for a bit when everyone started posting random pics.
Clint- never even saw that one in the book. Had me totally stumped. What's up with the top out there? Is that big slab above totally blank and too steep for continueing something up through it. Looks intreaguing. I've been wanting to explore that area a bit for a while now.

Chad,
Coiler did a route in the big corner just left of the Grey Bullet,
but it doesn't go above the roof.
Eric might have something that goes higher - he and his friends have put up a *lot* of new pitches at Reeds in the past few years.

This is a wonderful opinion. The things mentioned are unanimous and needs to be appreciated by everyone. I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need tobe sorted out because it is about the individual but it can be with everyone.The above thought is smart and doesn’t require any further addition.It’s perfect thought from my side.A very smart and diplomatic answer.

I'm completely stumped on BrassNuts photo. I don't even recognize the rock. Doesn't look like any stone I've ever climbed on.
Judging by the foliage sprouting from that crack, I'd guess this is a very seldom climbed route. Which may be cheating if very few have ever even seen this thing. It's gotta be somewhat traveled to be in the game.
Hows about some clues BNts?

That is correct :)
Scuffy, if you were asking about that stuff around the climber, it's the stickpile/bush that he just climbed through. This pitch might be my all-time favorite pitch, even with (or maybe because of) the full submersion into pulpy slimy yellow algae to find handjams at the start. The wide open chimney moves at the top are wild with incomparable views!

Definitely not Etude. The crack on Etude is a bit more rounded on the edges, and the stance after the crux is to the right of the crack.
That does look like Rico as well. But no idea what the climb is. Looks pretty cool though.

Yeah Gonzo I'm stumped by that "Socal splitter" too. Of course this is more like the true angle, using the dangle of his gear on his harness as a gauge...
Looks like the rock on Tahquitz over by NE Butt; My Pink Half, or El Whampo, or Suicide around north by Johnny Quest but I can't place it even though it looks very familiar.

Yo Friend,
I've been out to the Black Bluffs there and done Aurora Borealis. Great pitch.
But I still can't make sense out of that big chimney in the background, I have pics from that day (about 2&1/2 years ago) and I can't find that feature...
That's a neat crag. I thought the top out on the 10c to the right was quite interesting.

Red Rocks - a Vegas classic but probably not often climbed. This one is in Oak Creek canyon.
Looks like the Blood Wall - maybe Seppuku
No guesses on the last one? It is a well known classic. Many of the pitches here are named individually, so although this is the third pitch off the deck, it has its own name. Your options for the first pitch are either a famous 5.13 or almost-as-famous 5.9.......
Pretty sure that is Sloe Children

This one's NOT in California. I guess it's not so much a route as a formation. But our objective that day was THE classic moderate up the face and up the right side of the roof.

If there are routes no one knows about, no one has done 'em and they have no name. They are in no known guidebooks, they will never be repeated till they are done, if ever. If you're the guidebook editor for that area where the photo is taken, and you don't know it, you're gonna wonder, is that Arlo Guthrie talking to me, or is it someone trying to channel that old buzzard?
Who the f*#k cares besides guidebook editors and the first ascenders? I don't care about climbs nobody knows about. I don't think it's a good idea on the whole. So fucous.
