My favorite unpublished route name is "Caffeine Doodle-do on My Cock" down in the Owens gorge. It is on the coffee cliff and was named by a friend of mine about 9 years ago. This same genius also named a boulder problem "Idiosynchronicity," at the leap last year. Also new V-10 there on the top out of Surrealistic Pillar called "The Cubist," on "The Tetris Boulder," which I call "Picasso Rock." And then we set "Snail on a Razor," and the sit start called "The Snail."

I've regarded the Yosemite squeeze chimney 10.96 as the all-time classic name.

I don't remember if I already said his earlier in this thread...since it keeps popping up from time to time - but I've always liked Ken Trout and Peter Prandoni's Coffee Achievers on the Black Wall at Mt Evans, CO.

Great Topic! Good call Clint on the original Cunning Stunt, Jim Erickson and Cindy Stanley route. And the pic of Graveyard shift begs the reference to the route next to it, much earlier on the McCarthy wall, "Tough Shift!" That's a great route name! Another Gunks favorite: "Rubble without a cause". Crack of Bizarre Delights, the roof below Sky Top visible from the freeway.
Someday I want to do a long route in the Sierras and call it
"INYO FACE!" And when times get rough, Jim Dunn and I are going to do a Black Canyon route, "Down and Out". :-)
