Crux = [kruks] 'the hard bit, hard thing'
It's Latin for 'cross,' like what Jesus got crucified on. Thus, the progression of meaning goes something like 'the thing that is torture'-> 'the thing that's unpleasant'-> 'the thing that's hard to do'-> 'the V2 section on my 5.12.'

Everyone I know pronounces it "crough." We also rap off of sport routes and boulder with helmets.

...."ough" are very versatile letters.... so is it said "cruff" or "crow" or "croo" or "crah"?
I reckon it's "crahks", mate!

Reminds me of this dork who insisted the proper pronounciation of Tuolumne Meadows was
Too ah LOOM Nay.
Freaking moron. I dared him to go to the meadows and spout that shit. I heard someone was shot up there in the deli parking lot for mouthing off and I reckon it was him.
Too ALL O me.
Cheers

hahaha, he asked for an Umlaut, not a Spanish u-diaeresis!
I think the closest an American speaker can get is to try to imitate a Brit saying "rude", take the sound they make for the "u", make it shorter and you've got your:
Ü
:lol:
