Here's some more:
Q41) What fitting name is given to a 7c+ (28) route that Australian climber Geoff Weigand put up at Kilnsey, UK - after his rather uncouth method of removing active birdnests during the cleaning process?

Q42) What route given 5.14c (34) did Chris Sharma remove his beanie, then top, then put his beanie back on during the redpoint ascent?

Q43) What well named Paul Pritchard Llanberis slate route did Johnny Dawes take a 100ft fall off attempting to onsight?

Q44) If you were reading a guidebook, and the names A Woman With a Bathtub in Her Head, Sex After Death, and Sarah appeared in the index - what area would you be in?

Q45) Duel is a slab problem given V11. Where is it?

Q46) Who bolted, cleaned and did all the moves of the route later to be known as 'Necessary Evil' - at the Virgin River Gorge (US) - saying it would be like climbing two 5.14a's back to back?

Q47) What American climber famously said before leaving for K2 - a trip on which he perished - "Summit or death, either way I win!"?

Q48) What is the name of his hard aid route on El Cap, one which he stratigically placed blow up farm animals on bivvy ledges?

Q49) Where would you be (crag) if you were standing in front of the Boute du Monde?

Q50) Attention Vous Regard and Silence were two 8b+ (32) routes redpointed by which top female climber?

Q43. Cure for a Sick Mind (E7) on the Rainbow Slab. Dawes had heaps of slack out to clip the third bolt (I think it was the third) and couldn;t reach it so he tried to "dyno-clip" and missed!

That is a hard one because it is none of the usual supects. Was thinking Stephanie Bodet but will go with Robyn Erbesfield thank you.

Q30: You were right with Maginot Line - but the French called it 'Le Plafond'. 'Super Plafond' was the link up route done by Jibe Tribout at 8c+, which linked the start of Maginot into Terminator via some glued on holds!

Y - should've known your knowledge of Llanberis slate was up to scratch! Apparently his 'dyno clip' on Tormented was rather more successful...

I thought that 4 consecutive one arm campus moves was the standard.
