This is great! Useful climbing terms, french, spanish and german

i am a boulderer, une bloceuse, and this is what i say: 

A boulder- un bloc, or better to say un gros caillou or une petite falaise

Bouldering area- site de bloc, zone de bloc, secteur

Bouldering zone/sector- same

Boulder problem- no you just say un bloc, 

Route- un voie, but only for sport climbing

Bouldering (verb)- faire du bloc

slab- dalle

vertical- what do you mean?

overhang- dévere

overhanging- dévere

steep- raide, or you can say toit if it is a roof. dévere or toit is most common. superplomb exists but it isn't said as often. 

hold- prise

crimp- reglete, or just regle sometimes

sloper- slope

slimper (sloping crimp)- regle de merde

sidepull- vertical but emphasis on the CAL

gaston- epaule but you'll have to make the gesture as this is a very weird term outside of climbing. People won't know what you mean. 

undercling- inverse

backstep- carre externe

drop knee lolotte

mantel- reta (short for retablissement)

heel hook- talon

toe hook- contrpointe or you can say spatule which is a bit odd but easier to picture

reachy- morpho

grade (difficulty)- cotation or just cote

good landing- 

bad landing

spotter- we just say parade, like the verb. j'ai besoin un parade stp

to spot (the verb)- parader

bouldering pad- 

brush (the noun)-

brush (the verb)-

dab- touche

tick- tické

power spot- pousse

these terms are going to sound very weird to someone who doesn't take part in bouldering. 

you might also say things like: salle de bloc, salle d'escalade, jeux olympique, discipline d'escalade sur les petite falaise, sans corde, on pousse la difficulté et le complexité de les mouvement, entrainement, reussi/enchaine, chemin, depart debout, depart assis, etc.

Super interesting even from someone not about to travel. Thanks!

Thank you all for your generous responses!
In Hueco atm, and really looking forward to getting back to Font this spring.
