here are a couple of fun phrases you can look for when you are reading through the guide
"Obvious descent gully"
"Imitate a gorilla through the bushes"
"One bolt was used for safety. 4th class"
"Class 4 with minor aid"
"Here is a classic bivouac, complete with running water and trophy-sized rodents"
"The name comes from an incident on the first ascent, when a rock was dislodged and crushed a Cadillac parked below, causing consternation among onlookers"
"the approach will be a classic Cascades bush thrash if snow is not present"
