Over the years I have heard some of these around the various CA areas, but never asked what they mean.

Crag Whore-does not refer to prostitution?

Crag Fag-not a Gay Climber?

Beta Sprayer-this is the only term I could figure out on my own.

ethtics police-I have been busted by these guys

OTH- Old Trad head

Please define the first 2 terms or post your own.

A crag whore is more like the john than the prostitute. They wait around at the crag looking for a belay. Thats more like a crag junky though.
A crag whore is someone who can send all the routes at the crag because its the only place they go too then they spray all kinds of mindless babble that identifies them as some kind of badass.

Now a crag fag is someone who wairs those circa 80's fluorescent spandex climbing pants. This moniker is just misplaced and some of those pants I happen to think are very stylish.

Have you ever met a "Sport Slut"? or a "Mangler." I've heard these thrown around before I can only guess at the second one.

Ooooh, don't go there. I wanted that name as an internet handle until I found out what it meant.

According to Google - something you would hopefully not want as an Internet handle...

Jeez, wonder how it ever got that meaning. Not that I really want to know....
Anyway, someone on the "dumbest thing you've ever seen at a crag" thread had a good one; "hero nookie."
