I love the route at Granite Mountain, AZ called MAGNOLIA THUNDERPUSSY

one of my favorite FA's was a route that had a arm sized "tunnel" halfway up the route. The only pro was to thread this hole with a 48 inch runner. I named it

Pizza Dick, Nomads Cave, Clear Creek.
Some history on the naming of the route. Fred Knapp was working this route while Pete Zoller was putting in his line next to it. As Fred finished his route, he asked Pete Zoller what he thought it should be named. Pete said, name it anything but....Petes a Dick!!
So of course that is the name that stuck, With a slightly different name..Pizza Dick. Anyway, that is the story.

OK here are some of the more colorfull names Iv given to routes my friends and I have put up, some recent some not so recent. Cool whip, Bonerland, Underground Humanoid Lobes, El Gato, Morning Sickness, Illeagle Gardening, Power Hitter and recently The Viagra Experience and The Training Station are kinda cool. There are storys behind most of them and some just sounded cool at the time. But whatever you name a route try to be descriptive and creative nobody wants to see their route name ripped off.

A route name that always gives me a chuckle is "Jane Fonda from Behind". It's on the Jane Fonda workout wall In the Port Hills Here in Christchurch. Someone must have had a thing for that gal. A potential new route name that keeps popping into my head is Attack of the Killer Stunt Chickens. Could be a while before I can put up a route worthy of it though.

No offence to kagunkie but I called it MORNING SICKNESS BEFORE THE PILL...

Sadistic Heathen Devil Gerbilz
we used the name because one of my mates got attacked by a rock hyrax, he fell off and broke his arm... shame...
Finga Muncha
we named it this because of the reddish color of the rock, it looked like blood, as well as all the bloody crimpers.
