This constest is for the most Valley routes named after a single person.


I figure 'Werner's Wiggle' and 'Werner's Ant Trees' gives Werner Braun the prize.


No fair using double names (like Sacherer-Fredricks).


Salathe has one route, as does Muir.


But, Werner has two.


Anybody got more than two?

Jardine's Hand
Ray's Pin Job

so it's at least a tie

Why does Salathe only get one? There's a Salathe route on El Cap and one on Half Dome.

"hey riley - I thought the riley-yerian was pretty good too""

A really excellent route but it don't count cause of the dumb "shared" name rule

Isn't Werner's Wiggle in Tuolumne? Werner's Crack was in the Valley though...although I think it fell off.

I like "Riley's Sacker Cracher of the desert but in the valley"

Last count, 63 routes named after some "Poodle." That poodle has everyone else beat by a mile.
