...and how about route names which SOUND all nice and cuddly but turn out to be a horror show? Something like "Soft 'n' Fuzzy (5.5)" that wasn't. Got any of those?

Not really *scary*, but with a name like;
Worst Route in the Rockies..
and the description that starts off with.. "This aptly named route.."

It doesn't see a lot of action.

George Hurley's route Slimor on Crag Y. I quote from the guidebook:

"When every route on the crag is soaking wet, you might as well climb Slimor."

I remember a boulder problem in Cradle Rock that had you stemming up this steep/slabby scoop. The route was named Granite Enema for the 3 foot tall spike of rock residing in the fall zone.

The Black Owl of Death
Slymenstra Hymen
I am the Liquor
Meat Sandwich
White Owl
The Comb Over
These are some route names friends and myself have used. I guess only the first one is intimidating though.

If you climb up here ... it is very intimidating.

Also from the rockies:

"The bolt nazi" No bolts for you!
"Die young, stay pretty" Too late for me
"Forbidden Corner" Verboten!
"Mean mistreater"
"Rubble without a cause"
"Trap line" It is easy to escape ... honest!
"Stretcher case"

The Obituary (grade 14) in the Blue Mountains. A lovely crack climb with a scary name. Unfortunately a bloke died on it a few weeks back after he hit the deck.

...and from overseas:

"Rectum Dei" at Vaelseroed in Bohuslaen, Sweden (the world's hardest 5.5, which is more like 5.9)
"I Killed Christ with My Big Fu!@ing D!ck" at Uddeuddsberget, Stockholm, Sweden (maybe not a scary route name, but definitely a tasteless one).
"Vi vet var ni bor" ("We know where you live"), Stockholm, Sweden
"Metal in the Head", Stockholm, Sweden
"Mina kulor - din haka" ("My balls - your chin"), Stockholm, Sweden - sort of sets the imagination going, doesn't it?

I won't bore you with more.
Cheers!
