Everyone I know is by definition my circle of friends and acquaintances. :) Anyway, its called Skull Cave because it looks like a skull, really spooky actually. But Goonies is more fun. Not a big deal. I see your point that renaming a route seems to ignore your aid effort. I wouldn't want to do that although I totally agree with Dave as it is pretty much a truism that free climbing is the progression from aid. There is a strong history of renaming aid routes after freeing them just not in Australia so your assertion that it is inherently or morally wrong is patently false. That said, I will probably keep with the names of aid routes I free, so far that has been like one. And keep up the hard aid Rod! :)
