Read this article on route names and their history and thought some of the developers at the Red could share some of their better stories...

Have a route out at soul canyon called Uh-oh Oreo. I think you can figure out what's in that name.



























I'll give you a hint; illegitimate children.

My good bud of the Persian persuasion was going through a rough & tumble "romantic situation" while we were developing a crag in Peaceful Valley in fall of 2010... one regrettable night led to the crag testpiece "Haraam", then a falsified pregnancy test inspired a killer 12c called "False Positive", quickly followed thereafter by "Failed Exit Strategy", with a heartbreaker crux at the end and coinciding with our protracted withdrawal from Iraq. Meanwhile, I was stricken with a spate of digestive disorders that led to a really cool 12b called "Tenesmus"... sadly, the crag never quite opened to the public so the names may have to be recycled someplace.
