Two-of-a-kind Route Names
|
Funny guy San Diego County! We’re down here in the very Southwest corner of the USA, on the Pacific Ocean and the Mexican Border |
|
Roofies. "Clever" associations to corona virus. (Ugh.) |
|
There are two "Hungry, Hungry Hippos" routes in Squamish. |
|
The obvious question is: what is the most popular route name worldwide? |

Lichen It |

There are two routes called “giant’s staircase” in Oregon about an hour from each other. They are some of the first routes I climbed outside and I assumed for a long time that it was a common route name as it seems obvious but apparently it’s just those two. I still find that a bit strange. |

Lots of directissima but sometimes spelled directissime |
june mwrote: That’s because it’s a general word meaning “shortest link” in Italian. |

City of Rocks has lots of names used elsewhere, but dunno if they are common, or not. Drawing a blank to hunt up any past Wheat Thin, but someone beat me to that one. My guess for most common would be Standard, Direct, Becky, Mountaineer's, and (redacted). Best, Helen |

I figure there are several hundred ."Social distancing" routes now |
|
I only see two routes named Bloody Hell, which is kind of disappointing. |
|
Maybe I missed it but Stairway to Heaven. MP shows 126 routes. What’s the most common route name that crosses climbing disciplines? Trad, ice, boulder, sport, aid, etc? |

I’ve named two routes “Eldorado” One on the Devil’s Dancefloor in Yosemite for the 6 ft roof it surmounts, reminiscent of the Redgarden wall roof, and one in SD County for its sideways holds and reddish brown, super fine grained granite. |

Variation on the theme: there are 44 "Indigo" routes, but 2 were put up by the same developer at crags ~10 miles apart: |

Only two “Corner Office”, and both in Red Rock? |
