Comical maybe, but they gave a voice to a powerful underclass. I love that sh-t man.

And I don't hate the police.

Sure, when I hear Gangster Rap I expect that language and attitude.

Without knowing you guys, or what you got up to, I would assume that Sperm Bitches etc etc are route names that refer to women you know/knew. To me personally it has no significance; I simply assume that the FA was a sexist jerk.

I do not mean to insult your fond memories. I guess my point is that they are YOUR fond memories. To many others, they are just rather inappropriate route names.

Worthy of remembrance?! Sure, a valid part of history, adds colour to the climbing scene, and all interesting stuff. I love that stuff. But I do not think that that means we can't modify the names to close approximations, and give a speil on the history and influences in a seperate section of a guide.

In my opinion it sounds like Rod did well finding a balance.

And I don't think I have met Donne or Byron - what have they climbed on grit?
