Calling all MP Detectives! One of my co-workers has this poster on her wall:

Sorry for the low resolution. Can you identify the route?

Looked like sunny and steep to me as well. The background is photoshopped in from somewhere within the loop.

No, you can't see Mt. Wilson from Sunny and Steep. Looks to me to be somewhere in the 2nd pullout area. Maybe Stratocaster Wall? There's a couple short 12's there that are basically glorified 2-bolt boulder problems. Could be one of those.

That rope looks very hard to believe, and I think you would see the belayer if she was on belay. Considering there seems to be no chalk on the rock, its probably a random boulder.

Based on the way the summit of Bridge Mountain is hidden I'm inclined to think the background was shot from somewhere near the visitor center. If you look at similar pics from the first or second pullout (or sandstone quarry) Bridge Mountain is much more visible. Here's an example from Footloose at Stratocaster (2nd pullout):

Good stuff

Thanks for the help!
