What's your definition of "splitter"

I've heard the word "splitter" used to mean either:

1. a straight-in crack (as opposed to a corner)

2. really clean rock, such as you might find where a piece of rock has recently split

3. really good climbing

What's the word at the crag?

its when the plumber bends over.....

If it takes dynamite & multiple freeze/thaw cycles to form a crack, it's a splitter, though it may not be a true natural.

Why is it no-one wants to try and find a splitter in the ice???

A high-step resulting in the split in the crotch of one's pants.

I always thought it was a straight in crack, at least as it pertains to desert cracks. Recently split rock, incidentally, is never very clean at all.

Technically it should refer to a straight in crack. However these days it has made the jump (at least in some circles) to being any exceptionally uniform crack even if it's in a dihedral. This bothers me, because a "splitter" is just what it sounds like. It splits the rock...

splitter seems to be getting used for anything "kick ass" around here....kinda stoopid to me.

"brah, the weather is just SOOOO splitter today!"

WTF? gottta laugh...to each their own.

uhh... You said crack...

1. a small gymnast
2. a heavy, sharp, handled tool
3. Tea's wicked splitter photo. Is that a "Falcon Crest" TV shot? Cool

Ohhh.. "Manimal", right. Still splitter.

Falcon Crest...LOL...now THAT would be sweet!
