You may call your new boulder problem "Dingus Milktoast," specially if its squat, ugly and easy to boot.

You're welcome.

i usually give some hints to the boulders character when naming it, or maybe hint at something that happened recently or while it was climbed:

a) eagles reaches (long moves)
b) bloody ery (erih is a climber who kinda messed his fingertips on this one)
c) planko s5 z nami (planko with us again; he hasnt climbed for some time)
d) ballerina (guess)

etc

i also like naming them after south park episodes (like a kinda longer one is big gay als big gay boat ride, another is grey dawn)

Not to be a nitpicker, but I think it is R.O.U.S (Rodents OF Unusual Size), I don't know what that L would be for.

On the Adams theme,
Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.
The Infinite Improbability Drive

Or,
I'm Deceased....for tax reasons

Or, how about mixing some titles up, like
The long, dark tea-time of the sole
So long, and thanks for all the (insert V ratting)
The (route, boulder, etc) at the end of the Universe
