Abstract
Everyone knows that mountains have names. And everyone knows that people
climb mountains and that some climbers, first ascentionists (henceforth FA’s),
deliberately seek out new, difficult, rocky climbs to make their ascent. What many
people do not know is that these routes are named and that a whole subculture
exists around the climbs, their names and reasons behind the names.
