Just for you dalai - trivial questions to while away the day (and there's plenty more where these come from). Let me know if they're too easy!

Q1) What route in Sydney has (had?) two door handles for aid nailed onto its final headwall - and has a description of 'Lost in Space on acid' - in reference to another scary route in the same vicinity?

Q2) What route in the Blue Mountains was stated as having 'concept and design by Stuart Wyithe - execution by Saxon Johns', and originally named 'Black Sabbath' (28/29)?

Q3a) Who famously smeared lip gloss over the crux holds of his (UK) project, in front of the legendary French climber Jibe Tribout, who had attempted to climb the route. b) Bonus point: What was the route name?

Q4) What Swiss climber's climbing style was described as 'like watching a race horse on speed'?

Q5) Who created a private training camp (complete with live-in chef and army-related exercise regime) in Hueco during the hey-day of this bouldering paradise?

Q6) What route in Spain was first put up using 4 bolt-on holds at its crux, then later re-climbed using only one of them - thereby upping the grade (still unrepeated).

Q7) What Fontainebleau master is definitely not a 'Fatman'?

Q8) Where can you find Megatron, The Young American and The Kirton Dyno (all famous dyno problems)

Q9) What French climber soloed the amazing 'Pol Pot' (7c+/28) - a route located in the Verdon Gorge, the crux of which is some 250m off the deck?

Q10) Who was the first Australian to climb Lord of the Rings (31)?
