Hi guys, I need some help with some terms that I need to translate.
What does it mean "frigging" when it deals with various techniques of working a route?
It's used alongside "Yo-yoing" and "dogging".
Which technique is that, "frigging a route"?

Cheers.

I'd agree with that definition, but more specifically I'd say there's a difference in intent. Frigging is using any method just to get to the top. Yo-yoing and hang-dogging imply being involved in a process to do the route clean, which frigging doesn't.

[Muenchener]

Not proper climbing, but short of full-on aid climbing.

[mrjonathanr]

Using aid and especially resting on the rope to get up something you've failed to free climb because it's too hard for you.

In the days before red pointing and dogging, frigging meant cheating your way up a route by any means.

Please tell me you googled dogging nibs

You should be aware, Nibs, that "frigging" is also a verb used to describe the act of fingering a lady's vagina. Not a word you would use in polite company.

Vigorously.

That fits as cheating your way up a route would make you a right cunt.

Guys,
is there any pun or double meaning in the name of the routes Hot Fun Closing and Zeke the Freak?
Cheers.

Alright.
Hot fun closing? Some reference to Kudos?

Hot Fun is a song by Stanley Clarke

Used to close a live show it was listed on an album as Hot Fun Closing

Guys,
in Ben's book, at some point he talks about when he first spotted LPT. He refers to is as "seeing that huge bomb bay."
I struggle to understand this reference. It's where bombers carry the bombs, innit?
What do you think?

[webbo]

There is a term used Bomb Bay Chimney which refers to a Chimney feature which flares out at the bottom.

[slackline]

In this context it perhaps means 'opens out at the bottom' because of the big overhangs in the main section.  The wave at The Foundry has a 'bomb-bay' on the far right, mentioned as such in this write-up, so it means an (large) overhanging area.


You could always consult the Urban Dictionaries definition.  I doubt that was what was meant but you never know.

A “bombé” with anglified pronunciation, surely




A bomb bay chimey is definitely a bottomless chimney (at least in US). People tells me it has to do with being bottomless like the weapons bay on an aircraft. I'm sceptical.
