So today, I explored a local park of mine, and found 3 semi large boulders.

I had time to climb one, and after a few tries managed to top out on it.

To those of you who have, how do you name a problem?


Also, I regularly boulder V1-V2+ in a gym, what grade do you think this problem would be if I could complete it after 3 tries?

Probably been climbed, don't name it

Generally, you name it after something significant to it's christening?
You should call it "Spray".

I also should add, that today was the first time I've ever attempted an outdoor climb!

It's good to be excited...

My personal recommendation is just to climb as much as you can and worry about this type of stuff down the road.

Have fun.

v0 and name it after something super cool from your childhood.

Naming should be natural and personal. If you truly did a first ascent (you might be surprised at how many boulder that seem like firsts have been climbed many times before), give it a name that fits the problem and your experience with it. Nobody in the world can tell you what to rate a boulder problem. Only people that have climbed it know its difficulty. If you dont know, climb more boulders in the area and the grade will be apparent. Keep in mind that most gym climbing is soft

Naming is fun. Just let it occur naturally, and don't get grandiose unless it's a new free line on the west face of Mt Thor.

grab 10 scrabble letters and create a clever name from them.

call it " I asked the internet"

A good name that I've been thinking about (since I went on that 80's action movie binge with the vaporizer) is

"Lord Humungus"


You're welcome


Edit: Too late...
Asked The Internet
