Having a name you're not happy with is the price you pay for a local not getting it done Yup. I like the name, I think the name sounds like something someone Dobbin would say in a crap german pr0n film acsent;"Is't das un Pumpenhousen?""Ja Ja" "UUGH UUGH, Icht Kommen!"etc.

I've just had the name explained to me - apparently they were thinking of joke names for the sponsored German climbers Welsh visit and came up with all sorts of dodgy pr0n-sounding names (The Pumpen fest etc) - so the Fred Nicole Roof was the Test Piece of the festival.I'm told Pumpenhaussen is not a real German word, but it certainly sounds like one.Pete said he'd try to talk Alex out of it tonight. Fingers crossed, he agrees.

Just let the kid name it whatever he wants, it's not the end of the world and it's a better name than the majority of new route names that get churned out these days which strongly lack imagination
I say we just do what the french did with sharma and biography, ignore his daft realisation name and call it whatever they want. It's our country after all so fuck him.(devils advocate)
