chainsaw massacre
Couple of things about Chainsaw: 1) It's a good route. It's a fun route. Waaaay better than Ale-8 and not even in the same category as Sex Farm (gimme a break). It's better than everything to the right of it on Undertow (and a few to the left, like Harvest for example). And I'd say it's the most famous/popular 12a sport route in the country... which is saying a lot. 2) People who say it's a "mindless" haul are 5.13 climbers who've done it a hundred times. Ask the poor guy who has thrown himself at it all season just how "mindless" it is.

'Darling, may I please be excused for a moment?
I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce you to after dinner.'
The polite way to excuse yourself and take a piss.

Routes can be "famous" without being at "the center of the climbing world".
Famous routes at off the beaten path areas:
The Vampire, Tahquitz
More Monkey Than Funcky, Josh
Super Crack, Sky Top
Levitation 29, Red Rocks
yada, yada, yada....
I don't think that Astroman ever said that the lode is the center of the climbing world or that other areas revolve around him...
