TBay Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 "Dishes are done, Man!" (pronounced with your best Chong impersonation) a bold FA (turned into a solo) on thin Maple Canyon ice. FAer managed to dinner plate the entire route off the wall as he ascended. zero ice to be climbed for a second ascent that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 This all just evidence that girls should be naming more routes, then there would be less slit and jug puns, more poetry and characters from Jane Austen novels. Doing "Mr Darcy" has a nice ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Well I'm gonna call a route Flapjackrabbit and then no one not a ccsprayer will understand it. "Arnold Grundlewimp Meets Albert Volstrangler" is another good name in the Bulletheads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dberdinka Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 "Battered Sandwich" is a cool route name on Private Idaho at Index. Name didn't make much sense until I pulled myself onto the ledge at the top after an embarassing amount of thrashing in a hand-crack to offwidth to lieback to squeeze chimney. I was the Battered Sandwich for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 The route names at Josh anf Tahquitz get pretty esoterical at time... "Zorro Zucchinis From Alpha Centauri Twelve", "If You Really Loved Me You'd Buy Me A Turkey" etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Static Point has some pretty stoney names "Fluorescent Green Crab Traverse" "Spencer's Spaceport" For shear volume of disgusting names you can't beat the Bill Robins legacy at Vantage sample Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWolfe Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 My favorite at Index is: "Hush, hush, bush of slugs" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 and all routes would have to have "and" in them as in: chain reaction and reduction snaffles and snufflupuguses etc. it would also inspire the gruel-flavored clif bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Heathcliffe is from Jane Eyre isnt he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 English 304: Heathcliffe is from Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre is from Jane Eyre, but these were written by the Brontes (Charlotte and Emily). Someone should name a route Wuthering Heights though, it's an excellent name--not entirely sure what wuthering means, but it's so fun to say!

iain Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I think it comes from the location where the story is set, Top Wutherns (Withens?) outside of Haworth in West Yorkshire. It's a little shack of stone, not much there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Wuther is a word, means "to blow with a dull roaring sound." There was a Genesis album from the 70's called "Wind and Wuthering" that made reference to Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 sure enough, Genesis = dull sound and blows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
