Lurking Fear-Yosemite

Though I haven't done it (humm, note to self...), I love that route name.

Gotta give runner up to "Fear of Castration". Just the thought you need on the sharp end straddling an arete...

Eric Kohl uses intimidating names for intimidating routes. In addition to others mentioned previously, he has put up Wheel of Torture, World of Pain, Reign in Blood, Escape from Tora Bora, Reckless Abandon, Dante's Inferno, Satanic Ritual Abuse, Lost Again, Express Checkout, When Hell Was in Session, Cataclysmic Megasheer, and Surgeon General. All of these are Yosemite big wall routes.

Sounds like a light hearted kinda guy. :D

"Do or die, there is no try" 5.12 X (bring a skyhook to protect the crux dyno)

There´s actually a route like that put up by Leo Houlding, only that he calls it "Crazy Horse".
