That second photo looks incredible!!! I can't wait to find out where/what the line is(heheheeee....maybe Locker will lead it for me next trip. what is it some 5.12?)

2nd Russ Shot - Thinking.. Miles of Piles, Winds of Whoopee?
3rd Russ Shot - agree Echo, Run Stuff
Last Russ Shot - RHV, Saturday Night Live
Ahhhh!!! think i figured the black n' white shot. Echo Face - Double Dip. The fact that it was a child climbing threw it off.

Russ,
Not too sure on the Winds one, but lets see what others guess.
Might have a new one for your OW circuit. Not very long, but those that know about such things say about .11c. Fairly far from the beaten path, and it needed more than the paltry single #5 I brought.
Will have to give the lead another go when the wounds heal ( more pics to follow ).

Hey Murph, Was that shot of the short wide thing you posted the thing we did last week "the Plumbers Crack"? Looks like it6 to me but my pics were taken by Rico looking down the length of the crack from the inside. That thing was proud! One of the very best wide cracks in J Tree!(NO that's not an oxymoron)

I'm guessing the shot was done on Fuji Velvia with polorizing filter. Just a nice blue-bird kinda day. Or was it digital only and enhanced on software?
Nice color. I prefer the 1st option. The photographer in me says never, no-no, don't do it to the second option. Just ask this question - Would Galen do it? If the answer is no, then you shouldn't either, unless you are truly going for the artificial look and if it isn't apparent to the viewer, then you should confess and say so.
There are traditional rules to photography, and like climbing, we should abide by them.

Thanks Murf - Winds of Whoopee is an 11a, then....hahaha. I am going to see if I can't get someone to run a TR for me on it. In the guidbeook, it looks like mostly crack, too.

Murf,
Before you leave Wonderland Wash for the grotto, there's an wide, flat area that kind of opens up. High up, to the west there is a similar looking crack if memory serves. Also a mean looking squeeze through a giant split boulder high up to the east.

The atmospheric phenomenon we are observing is known as ionized particle refraction common on the Third Moon from Tiltus. No, really Me,John and the Fish were pounding anchor steams and tweakin on the Shop. Wasn't meant for general consumption. That being said, Can we really believe anything we see on a screen anymore? Pandora is in the House. Winds of Whoopee however is pristine. Mighty bold onsight John!!! Here's another cute little thumbnail:

Steelmnky,
I was just culling the thread for answers, I'm usually more wrong than right!
That being said, I'll take a stab. The background doesn't look right, but I'll say... Yank the Knob, Creature Comforts Wall.
Crotch - That's not where it is... If you are where I think you are, the squeeze to the East is Innervisions/SqeezePlay. To the west is some newer stuff, but the OW is not one of them.
Aldude - Collossus Of Rhoid? It looks like you've done something tricky with the lean though... It should bend somewhat more right?

Al: Looks like Ride a Wild Bago -- Sports Challenge -West Face.
RM: Actually, it is a Craig Fry, Bob Roback, Dave Stahl route. Located east of The Dunce Cap/Suicide Horn Rock. You could approach from Rattlesnake Canyon, head south past Valley of Kings, but probably easier (even if a bit longer) to come in from Willow Hole. Either way a solid 1hr-45m+ hike.
PS: Is Red the "new Black" for free soloists?
