And some day in the future... all this sexist bull-pucky will end.
No more cat-calls.
No more crass comments (even to each other).
Just respect for others.
I agree it will end, but us humans will be long gone.

We have bigger social problems than route naming.
Ain't that the truth.
So your friends aren't refined or sensitive, maybe comedians?
Refined, sensitive? Well, we can be when need be. Some of the people I climb with are some of the smartest people you'll ever meet.

Well Kevin, that's a thin line. All's it takes is a climber who just got tossed out the door by his girlfriend...

Warbs- I chose those letters to allow for personalization!
I had originally thought
Drunk old washed up bitter as#@&%e climber.
I'm not offended at all by crass route names. Far more offended by some of the sh¡t I've read on this thread.
I guess I'd be bitter too if someone threw scalding hot bacon grease at my face and then tenderized it with a soccer cleat.

Apparently. Some random guy on the internet wrote 'we can do better' and a few old farts go ape sh#t (about the route names they bestowed) calling all sorts of names in response. yep.
For me it is not about the route names it is the massive tt that accompanied the suggestion that it maybe just maybe could be improved.

My opinion is mine.
And it's copyrighted!
"self actualized equally paid womyn with a realistic body image currently in a mutually respectful and nurturing relationship" would be a good route name

I always thought "Just do me" was a good route name.
Edit:
Tom Burke and I named a route that on Queen Mountain. It was a 5.10, grainy, dummy dome crack that petered out at the end.

The data indicates that one guy was offended by a new route name at his favorite crag. Ah well, life happens.
This doesn't really seem like much of a larger issue of any importance to many other people.
Bigger fish, I reckon.
