WHATS THE FUNNIEST ROUTE NAME YOU'VE DONE?
Brad Hodges
I'd bet a lot of the Funniest are attributable to Frank Zappa
song titles and song lyrics. I see alot of routes (mostly in CA.)
that are named after a FZ song, or a character in a FZ song, or just
a bit of FZ song lyric.
Some FZisms I've seen:
Stringbeans to Utah - Tuolumne
Zombie Woof - JT
Suzie Creamcheese, (i.e. Suzies Cream Squeeze in JT)

We did the counterpart to this route last year at Shelf Road, Colorado.
It was called: Turbo Charged Intercooled Meat Machine. It's shorter
but a bit harder than it's Lumpy predecessor.

I prefer more subtle names. Also, names that say something about the
particular route are more interesting to me.
Like-

In the Gunks there is also "Make Haste or Tomato

"Abracadaver" "Hocas Croakus" "To Be Or Not

There's also the descriptive but less fatalistic

But I got the feeling that the theme here was
favoring the sex-based route names.
The Gunks has a few of those as well:
Swinging Cunt, Vulgar Tits, Phalladio and Fat
Stick are the four of the most famous ones.
My faves are the ones behind the "Dick's Prick"
pinnacle: Bone Hard, Death's Head Mask, Girls
Just Wanna Have Fun and 10,000 Restless Virgins.
And in the Near Trapps ... "Slammin the Salmon"
But by far the funniest route name in the Gunks

>I like a name that tells a story:

Wow. That route name brings back memories.
Of another route.
I was in the Gunks belaying a friend on Muriel's Nose.
Swain gives this 5.10 three stars which is, in retrospect, generous. The
initial roof is good, and the unprotected 5.8 climbing beyond is good as well.
Just damn scary.
My partner was setting up for making the move over the roof when he pulled his
hand out the crack that splits the roof. A bat was climbing to his index
finger by it's tiny teeth. He flung the bat off his finger and it landed on a
tiny ledge a good 12 feet below be. I was atop a leaning pillar and anchored
in solid so that I had to call in my girlfriend for assistance. She soloed up
the 5.2 climbing with sticks and ziplock bag in hand. My partner didn't really
realize the importance of capturing the bat that had bit him. I don't know if
it was ignorance or denial. But he kept going for the roof. While my
girlfriend struggled to poke the bat into the bag with two sticks, my partner
tried, then gave up on pulling the roof.
I went next, powered up over the roof and promptly found myself on a steep 5.8
face with thin holds that had to be climbed 12 feet before I could get in the
next piece. I was already several feet above the roof where underneath, laid
the last piece of pro.
To make a long story short, after climbing the route, we came back down and
found the bat alive in the bag. My partner, irritated with it still being
alive, grabbed the bag and whipped it againt a big oak. Only to allow the bag
to pop and the bat fly away.

What was the importance of keeping the bat?
I know its a good idea to catch a snake that bit you so you
can get the right anti-venom, but bats aren't venomous.
Explain please.

But bats, like all other animals, can have all types of disease (including
rabies, I beleive). That's why it's important to get them checked out before
you start fearing water and you go utterly raving mad.

Absolutely right.
Anyone climbing in an area where bats live
should know about the problem of rabies.
I was in the Gunks another time and looking
to boulder around on a big formation. I was just
about to stick my hand into an undercling on
an overhang, and because of my previous
experience, I thought, wait a minute, let's look
under there ... and sure enough ... there was this
bat just sitting in there.
As it turned out in the previous story, we
recaptured the bat and my partner took it
to the city health services for testing.
Nowadays, doctors will want you to take the
shots regardless of the outcome of the test.
They figure it's the only sure way of not
contracting rabies.
The good news is ... the shots are fewer in
number and not anywhere near as painful
as they reportedly used to be.
So I'm assuming that "Sleeping Bat in a Ziplock
Bag" was a name chosen in keeping with
another similiar incident.
I tell you, I'd LOVE to rename Muriel's Nose
that! Todd Swain ... are you listening?
And Todd, buddy, can we drop a star or two
off that route in the book? Good pitch one,
but man, if you blow it on the 5.8 section you
cratering into the leaning pillar below.
And it certainly ain't no Co-Ex or Erect Direction.

If your blood, or any other bodily fluid is exchanged with that of
another, be they man or beast- CHECK IT OUT!!!
Whether it is a dog, bat or person, it is a really good idea to find out
what you might have caught. It just so happens that some animals,
including bats, are much more likely to be carrying some sort of
disease.

FYI, the route isn't on the Astro Domes, it's on the southwest face of
the Red Obelisk, just north of Pea Brain and Fat Freddie's Cat. The new
guide has it listed as "The Red Obelisk" for reason's unknown to me...
but from knowing Randy Vogel a little, I doubt the name was changed
because he *didn't like the play on his route "Figures on a Landscape."*
I've done the route...it's ok, moves-wise. The best part is the small
summit (oh wheeeeeee). For a 5.10 pinnacle, the "Podium" is a MUCH
better route!

There is "Farewell to Arms" in the 'gunks, featuring a hand traverse
(it was a lot closer to the top of the scale when the route was put in than
today).

Well, on a similar note, there is "Gay Bob's Throbbing Knobs", also in
Yosemite and named after a waiter working in the Four Seasons when the
route was put in. The waiter's preferences were obvious even to people
normally not atuned to detecting such preferences.

There used to be a route in a Toronto climbing gym called "Broken hearted

I have never liked the route too much, but it is probably the most
common "first 5.10" at the bluff.
The story goes that the person who bolted it found a bat hibernating in
a hueco or crack on the route and put it in a zip-lock. When he was
done bolting, he returned the bat to its resting place.

The funniest I have heard is a name given to a route up in the Sierras
started by my friends father and finished off by two of my friends. It is
called "Don't Let the Catfish Get Your Boobles and Wankies" (Boobles and
Wankies refer to the male private areas). It is a saying that my friends
dad used to tell him when he was younger and used to go skinny dipping in
the lake by his house.

That's a line from the first comedy album of "Firesign Theater", produced in
the late sixties -- early seventies.
