Other than the previously mentioned (in another post) Hospital Rocks previously known as Boong Crag. (agree it is offensive)
What groups were targeted?? Sure its offensive and maybe in poor taste but using climb names to offend someone (individual climbers) is an age old climbing tradition.Are you upset that it wasn't done in the correct"high brow" look at me see how how clever i am manner.

Firstly how many kids read climbing guidebooks? Not many i guess. So they are unlikely to be influenced by reading them.
Its just a guidebook !! its not a vehicle to influence or effect behavioural change. ( other than encouraging more sport climbers )
