Regarding the name censorship, I know most of you don't have kids, but I'm pretty curious what you would think if you did have a 8 or 10 year old keen on climbing. Would you really be comfortable giving then the guide book with original names to browse and choose a climb? I sure wouldn't. I'm not really worried about the occasional screaming profanities when someone falls off but some of those names are pretty out there. Maybe the old names were good for a chuckle or a snigger and pretty funny at the time, but hardly worth preserving for all time. I think Rod had a good point, not everything in history is worth keeping, names of cities/countries/mountains change all the time and life goes on.
