Oxford removed the Oxford comma from their style book. I, however, will not be removing it from my writing.

Its the principality of it all. And its descent, not decent.

“Splitter” is also commonly misused.

The term “splitter” describes the geometry of a crack, not its quality. It is a crack that cleaves a planar rock face, in contrast to a corner crack.

I for one prefer a decent descent though.

I was reading an article in Alpinist the other day where they had "break" when it should have been "brake". C'mon... Alpinist?? I thought that was a quality mag.

Or a ascent with a partner who has a Canadian accent, eh?

No one has mentioned that the world class climbing destination just outside of Las Vegas, NV is Red Rock as in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. It's not Red Rocks. Red Rocks is an amphitheatre in Colorado.

Can we still have a splitter day? Or did you just climb a 300 foot splinter?

Does the crack seem out?

The Conrad Anker on that rig is bummer, but you might want to use a beaner break if you dirted your ATC.

It's like when people say, "It's not the 'Sierras,' it's the 'Sierra." A bit too nitpicky for me. Doesn't really matter whether you call it Red Rock or Red Rocks.

Multiple guide books call it Red Rocks actually. Even guidebooks that have been out for years called it Red Rocks back in the day.

My crack is usually out, but that's because my last name is Plumer...
