jeff moll classic. along with tuna town, high hard one, skin boat...is there a phallic theme going on there?

I once named a route "Big Red Snapper" because a big red headed friend of mine broke his leg trying to get the FA. I thought it was funny.

I cleaned a route (not available to public) with a half inch wire brush that is used to clean the inside of copper pipe....... I called the route " a bigger wire brush" because I was muttering this the whole time i worked on the line.

lurkest or lander should tell the tale behind "there goes the neighborhood"

i've always been curious about headstone surfer...i know a boulder came off during the FA, but what are the details?
on lead?
did you really surf the bastard?
is it the giant boulder at the base?

I just want to know how the belayer didn't die.

i know that the giant boulder at the base is the boulder that was trundled. i can't remember the whole thing though.

Not in the Red but...

Lauren's Arete in the Black Canyon is named after the belayer that got hit by a loose rock on the first ascent.

Russian Arete also in the Black is named after Russian Roulette based on all the loose rock encountered on the route.
