I give you:

Quote
"B"-grade
    A grading system for bouldering problems, invented by John Gill for the Yorkshire and the Peak District. Now largely superseded by the "V" grading system.

Blackpoint
    To complete a lead climb without falling or resting on the rope (hangdogging) at night without using artificial light. Also see redpoint, pinkpoint, whitepoint and eclipse.

Bounce
    A deadly fall.

Crater
    Hitting the ground at the end of a fall instead of being caught by the rope.

Gumby
    An inexperienced climber.

Sloper
    A sloping hold with very little positive surface. A sloper is comparable to palming a basketball.

Smumping
    To quickly bump up a smear in small increments until a useful hold is reached.

Whitepoint
    To complete a lead climb without falling or resting on the rope (hangdogging) at night using artificial light. Also see redpoint, pinkpoint, blackpoint and eclipse.
