i'm new to this climbing thing and i'm uneducated on names that different type of climbers are called, eg trad sport gym etc etc etc...

i've recently 'heard' 'repeatedly' the term "trad hippy" said 'occasinally' at cliffhanger... (thanks kez =] )

so what does everyone else call other climbers out there?

Every now and then you might come across a stinking goat but most of the time they are just called tossers.

There are so many, but I have no doubt I would have my post deleted if I put down all the names trad climbers use for Gym Monkies. The best way to learn them is to ask when your leader is on a partictularly run out piece of unstable uncharted rock. This always brings out the best names for other forms of climbing.

'Barry' is a good one. I think' Veronique' fits for girls quite well too.
