That would be a top name for a problem.

Its interesting you mention good names for problems, Ive thinking of starting a topic on "Names for new problems". The chances of me climbing anything new are slim to none, but I've got a few names I'd love to use if I somehow find some untouched rock in Cumbria:

Transit Trauma - After I crashed my car.
Marra's vs Sparra's - After a close call in my car involving a flock of birds (not sparrows but that's all that rhymes with marra)
The birth of Jesus Christ through the eyes of a camel - Just think its funny!!
Grape Index - Play on ape index
Ket Arete - After some wild night with horse tranquilizers.
Golt's Groove

etc etc.

Anyone else got any?

A few years ago I threatened to do a new route and call it:  The Calculated Violation of ------ --------s' Dirtbox.

(Left blank so as to avoid getting knocked-out by this heaviest of hitters.)

I think my ode to Mark Katz, Tiny, King of the Jews @ a hefty V5 was neat.  8)  I've been working on a fabulous Clive Coolhead for the modern age (but you're not ready for that yet).  All in good time.

(Grape Index?  A problem for those with Haemorrhoids?)
