Bob_Clarke Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 In many traditional climbing books, it often advises the reader to sport climb in order to sharpen the mental skills for trad climbing. (just an unsolicited opinion) Back to the subject. I've always loved the name "seven Virgins and a Mule" even though the climb is lame. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 Brass Balls = It fits the necessity for climbin the route too. Fuck up on the paste your feet and you have no gear in, get ready for some sterilization Quote
Dru Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 "The Negro Lesbian" old A4 next to "The Black Dyke" on the Squamish Chief. Name is appropriate to location. thanks to Darryl Hatton for making me laugh. Quote
willstrickland Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 1. Any of the routes with the FA teams' names i.e.: Kor-Ingalls, Steck-Salathe', Chouinard-Herbert...they keep our heritage/history in people's thoughts. 2. Separate Reality (read the book). As a side note, I got royally spanked on this route, watch "Acending rhythm" if you want the crux exit move beta. 3. Astroman (because it could be called DanLarson and still not suck). 4. Hall of Mirrors (with 5.12+ slab climbing on several pitches, what else could you call it?)So far out of my league it's not even funny. 5. Supercrack/Incredible Handcrack (most apt route names ever) 6. Tuesday's Gone (the name given in Dixie Cragger's Atlas for the retro-bolted Fat Tuesday) 7. Disco Machine Gun (because it sounds cool) Quote
panther Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 Case of mistaken protection type...Oh well it still rules! [ 01-14-2002: Message edited by: panther ] Quote
Dru Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 will 1) its Disco Gun Machine not Disco machine gun. 2) routes named after the guys who climbed them are cause they were too dumb to think up a good name. those names are lame* the only thing worse is routes named after a geographic feature like "North Ridge" or "West Face" *except for the Cheesmond/Dick. aka Dickcheese, mon!

Cpt.Caveman Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 Yes I confirm it as a route name. I agree it might be the best. Isn't it a bolted route though? If so it should fall in the sporto not trad category Quote
panther Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 Dru, I thought Sean E named that route. That's what he told me anyway...oh well...he's on a Rock and Ice cover and we're not... Quote
panther Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 Caveman I think you are right. I retract that name... Quote

mikeadam Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 Doh! You're right. O-2 today! I was just thinking that because there's a picture in the guidebook of old baldy hanging in aiders from the crux of NL. Quote

W Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 Among the many vulgar Robins/Certa route names at Vantage, this one stands apart from all the rest: Rolfing My Dick Quote
Heinouscling Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 "A Tale Of Two Shitties" at Smith. Supposedly the climb consists of two shit filled crack running parallel to each other. -Heinous Quote
Charlie Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 how about- "ifyouwantsomeactionI'llleaveyouintraction"? Quote
willstrickland Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 That's pretty witty, although I had nothing to do with your Vantage routes and don't know of anyone who did, if that's how my post sounded. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 quote: Originally posted by Charlie: how about- "ifyouwantsomeactionI'llleaveyouintraction"? Charlie you have to get hostile! Use those mean faces like this one ---> Then insert some of these next to their name ---> Kiss it Bitch! Quote
Charlie Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 not at all, that wasn't directed toward you. I was just joking along. I don't have any routes at vantage (except for "the 51st classic of north amerika" at the feathers)- (I noticed some new chalk on it, so it's living up to it's name.) I replaced some anchors that were stolen above some of the CRACK routes, and some fucker stole them again. Quote
Dwayner Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 Great Trad Route name I've ever encountered? Easy! "North Ridge of Mt. Stuart". It's witty, clever, and to the point. Quote

It's witty, clever, and to the point. That would be a better route name if it was located on Ingalls Peak, to confuse people. Like there is a route called "The North Face of the Eiger" on Alps Rock in J-Tree. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 Another one is called "Let's Get Hurt" of course hard to non existant pro Quote
specialed Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 "End of the Affair", a wicked-hard gritstone deathfest. Quote
klar404 Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 "My Little Pony" Red Rocks. Now if I could only climb hard enough.......... Quote
