UKC

Just discovered to my amazement that I have 11 (containing my surname) listed on UKC. Who can beat that, or tell me about any others?

In reply to Rog Wilko:

Someone with the surname "Wall", "Crack" or "Buttress" is going to appear on this thread in a moment.....

In reply to Rog Wilko:
I seem to have loads - there are 7 "The Hood"s and 18 "Robin Hood"s as well as loads of other names/words containing "hood".

In reply to Rog Wilko:

Well not surname - I don't even know anyone with the same surname as me - but there are 37 containing Monty. One of them is one of my routes!

In reply to Rog Wilko:

I've got 20.

In reply to Rog Wilko:

A search on here turned up 54 "John"s so I'm claiming a high score until Mr Route turns up

In reply to john arran:

Lots with graham and rick in

Even more with me and I. Do I win?

In reply to Rog Wilko:

Never fail to get a kick out of climbing Rob's Crack (VS 4c) at Fairy Cave Quarry...

In reply to Rog Wilko:

Well now, searching using my first name - Tony - came up with a few, though many had it as an inclusion ('Stony', and so on). A search with my surname - Buckley - came up with two.

However, since my father's line leads fairly directly back to Cork and the surname derives from the Irish for 'herdsman' (presumably my ancestors spent quite a lot of time getting annoyed when cows wouldn't go where they were told), and since Scots and Irish Gaelic share common root words, I'd like to claim not a bunch of routes but a hill. In fact there's a choice of hills but since I'm 6'3", and so fairly tall, I'll claim the bigger one.

Buachaille Etive Mor suits in everything but its location; which, alas, buggers things right up. If only it were in south-west Ireland...

...back to the drawing board then.

43 for my surname, only 11 for Kevin.
Was surprised by the surname, then remembered it has a french translation. Nearly all in France.

In reply to Rog Wilko:

50 routes containing my surname: Knight.

Unless that was just the limit of the drop down search box. There could be more...

In reply to knighty:

50 routes - pah

I've got 50 hills and 3 national parks containing "Moor"

In reply to Rog Wilko:

Unsurprisingly, none at all containing my surname. Loads with my first name of course, no idea how many as the search dropdown doesn't list them all.

In reply to Rog Wilko:

9 for my first name (only 2 with the right spelling), 12 for the surname.

I didn't think there would be any, so whadda y'know.
I'd better get climbing at Caley

In reply to Rog Wilko:

An exact match for:

Birdie Num Num (6c+)

Mick

In reply to Rog Wilko:

42 if you're a Jones, although that includes six, uh, cojones...

In reply to Rog Wilko:

In reply to Rog Wilko:

A well known climbing film maker has an eponymous grade.

In reply to Rog Wilko:

52 for Brown. Thought it would have been higher.
