Well I appreciate the honest replies, and I am not for censorship of all things. It sounds like people are saying they wouldn't like their 11 year old to read such names and are would prefer to self censor if they had to. And sure, when they're older who cares. To me it seems a little silly to need to censor a guidebook to my kids. Rod, I know kids need adult supervision to climb, but supervision to read the climb's name?? just seems silly. I think that climbing is a great family sport, and it would be a shame if all guidebooks were x-rated. Since its only Nowra I don't really care, but its interesting to know peoples opinions. I know back in the day climbers were a bunch of teenagers sniggering at naughty words, but I would have thought by now people had grown up and had kids themselves and a different perspective. I find it really surprising that people so precious about something so juvenile, maybe its just me and so be it.
