Discussion: Call for climbing photos / TCI

Call for climbing photos / TCI

theCrag supports The Climbing Initiative, TCI in its efforts. Amongst it is the creation of a best practices document for route naming.

For the illustration of the best practices document TCI is looking for climbing photos of routes with unique and memorable names.

If you have suggestions, please post the link to the photo on theCrag below in this discussion.

Thanks you and happy climbing, the team of theCrag!

Does the name have to linked to the physical features of the climb - i.e. name + photo illustrating why it is named so? Or just a photo of a random climb with an interesting name?

If going towards the former, here is a nice photo of young Alec on the aptly named Butterfly Wall

Definitely "El Delfin" (The Dolphin) in Rodellar needs a mention:

Murray thx, just s nice pic is sufficient

Who could forget the late , greater than great Dave Gliddon masterpiece on White Mountain.

Fabian Lombard on ★★★ 六指琴魔 Two in the Pink, One in the Stink 5.12c - Fabian under the shocker.

One of the world's best sport climbs: La Fiesta del Bíceps (Riglos/Spain).

I don't have a photo at hand, but:

"ulli, the dancefloor is ours" is a wonderful name (Austria)

The Salmon

You can kind of see the head of the salmon going out "the water" to the left

For me is the best😄:

Classic!

Fahrradlkant'n or in english: "bicycle edge"

"Oberreintal" has other funny route names as well. One example is "Milka", not the chocolate but an abbreviation for "Militärkante", because the german mountain infantry trained here.

"One person is bored and one is suffering."

An excellent description (and its name) of a sport climbing route. 7a in Schlossberg, Unteres Inntal - unfortunately currently closed for safety reasons.

Thanks for the great contributions so far - please keep them coming!
