Something in Red Rocks, but not sure what. Traverses out right at the top... (thinking about it...) It isn't Dark Shadows is it?

Yep. The standard finish for that pitch goes almost straight up but we traversed out to the anchor out right (chasing shadows?) for the single rope rap

Someone should post another. I don't have access to my files right now.

Something in the Grenadiers? Maybe Arrow Peak?

Wrong country. Try north of the border. I might be remembering wrong, but I feel like the background peak might have figured prominently in an AAJ at some point.

Is the thing in the back Steinbok in BC? Climber on Les Cornes formation?

Looks like Wham Ridge on Vestal Peak...

Yer not the first one to be fooled, but the comments already address that guess... this thing is Canadian.

Les Cornes it is! Post up.

Any hints? Lots of ferns...looks like a wet place. Somewhere in the PNW?

hard to give a hint w/o giving it away - not PNW though (we also thought it looked like it).
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
