Another vote for Edging Skills or Hospital Bills. And Ride a Wild Bago.
And I've always wanted to know the back story of Way-Homo Sperm Burpers from Fresno and how that got it's name. Over near Y Crack in the Devil's Bathtub area.
That one klaus mentioned in a thread a while back about I Saw a Sleaze Revisit Ed, after Isosoles Revisted and that bad girlfriend story involving a guy named Ed. Eric saw the line next to IR, Walt came up with the name. I think Cade told the story. That was hilarious.

Cemetery Gates, on the right wall of Cenotaph Corner, Llanberis Pass. The climb has a history and the name has a serendipitous origin.
Joe Brown's account of its first ascent in "The Hard Years" includes the statements "The position on the face was very sensational and frightening. I brought up Don (Whillans) and he was flabbergasted. 'Christ, this is a gripping place,' he muttered hoarsely. Neither of us seemed able to move." Remember, this is Brown and Whillans! Then, regarding the name, "Going home that night on the motor bike we saw a bus in Chester with Cemetery Gates on its indicator."

"The Dripping Clit"
Not a great climb but what a name. Genious.
Crux was a mantle on a loose moss-covered block after pumping up a splitter.
