Two-of-a-kind Route Names
|
There are hundreds of routes named West Face or The Nose, (Likely) only one route named Magical Chrome Plated Semi-Automatic Enema Syringe, but what are some rarer route names that have only been used twice (or thrice)? Here's my submission: |

I would like to make it extremely clear that not only do I despise this route name, but I despise others like it. Come on people. Lame. We are engaged in a glorious battle with fear not a junior high locker room in the 80’s that said, this one fits your category: https://www.mountainproject.com/route/106181212/smell-my-finger https://www.mountainproject.com/route/105989635/smell-my-finger |

Now to find someone who has ticked both routes in a two-of-a-kind pair |

This is fun. How about "The Trough"? https://www.mountainproject.com/route/105799071/the-trough (Big Rock, CA) https://www.mountainproject.com/route/105861086/the-trough (Tahquitz, CA) Also, Tahquitz and J-Tree both have left and right ski track routes. |

There‘s too many named ”Arrowhead” or “First Date” to link individually |

When I asked him which one, all I got back was a blank stare. My guess is that if you pick pretty much any name from Tolkien, you’ll find multiple routes bearing it ( almost invariably put up in the ‘70s/early’80s). |

Not a route, but pretty much every state seems to have a Gill Boulder. |
