I added the crag as "Lost World" because that's what it was called by the original developers and to attempt to avoid disputes over what it "should be" called.
I did not include any FA names because of the complicated and contentious history of development here, which I have thoroughly documented. I do not care to relitigate these issues, and thus no listed FAs. See the History text section for more info if you're interested. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions about fixed hardware, reach out to John Rust and/or myself.
I have only minimal investment in the names of routes. I have done my best to get in touch with all developers who have claimed FAs and record what they named their routes. I gave names to routes that previously had no claimed FAs, which included renaming routes that the original developer gave permission to FA. I have also chosen to rename some I consider discriminatory. For all these reasons, you may notice that the names published here don't match what may be painted on the rock. But honestly, I don't really care what people call the routes. I just tried to give fun, fitting, memorable names to routes I put up, while also respecting the work put in by those who actually established each route.
I have listed all route grades using the +/- system instead of the abcd system, because routes haven't seen enough ascents to warrant such an exact designation. I'm fine with letting the consensus grade settle at whatever popular opinion decrees.
