"Mr. Choad's Wild Ride" is pretty good in Red Rock

watch out.  wacky names may be changed pursuant to the politically correct crowd always lurking around...

I would guess the naming sequence is significant and chronological.

If it's chronological, I certainly hope it's in reverse order. Otherwise, it sounds like a good campfire story

No kidding. I did a two pitch direct finish to 'New Perversions' on Whitesides in NC that we named 'Dirty Dykes Done Dirt Cheap'. When the the guide came out they changed the 'y' to an 'i'. GB author blamed the publisher.

There is a crag up here in the 'Daks above the Santa's Workshop tourist trap that has a route named 'Don We Know Wears Gay Apparel' which cracks me up, long time guide book author is Don Mellor.

""Dirty Dykes Done Dirt Cheap""  That is an excellent name!!!

Really, most of this thread should be renamed “raunchy route names” or “adolescent humor route names.”  I’m not sure all of these qualify as “wacky...”

You guys are just skimming the surface of the really offensive provocative (read: commonly now-censored, removed or redacted  on MP) route titles.  I labeled a camo'd hanger "BLACK MAGIC FUCK BOY".  I hope the placement or route lives up to the moniker when I happen to pull that particular hanger out that little blue and black bolt bag some day.  

this is part of why I dont post my new routes or (any routes) on MP: names like Minipony Gangbang might offend the miniponies or those that care about them among MP users.  I get it.  it's a business.  but my guidebook to privatelandia is NTBR.

For my routes, I am a fan of  bad puns or double entendre:  Lichen Licken, Kagels and Locks, or Layback and Relax.  But my proudest is actually a triple: Crack Addict.  Think about it!

I haven't named a lot of routes but I've come up with a few.

Technical Ecstasy, it's actually the name of a later Black Sabbath album that has artwork depicting robots having sex. In my description I wrote, you don't have to be a fucking machine to do this route but it helps.

Crumbling Reality, steep and unrelenting, a big evil roof crack that is worthy of a reality suffix. Given the nature of the rock and the width of the crack, it's perfect.

Black Seal, a nice little area that had a bunch of Moby Dick route names. This route was different, definitely not the white whale. Also the name of an excellent rum.

One Shoe Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Puns are fun.
