I noticed someone by the name of "Burley" is advertising for a climbing partner.
Obviously they'd be wanting to work on overhangs and other pumpy stuff.
This brings us to the topic of "nominative determinism" as explained in Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_determinism
The notion being that your name can quite often influence your direction in life.
Perhaps a world famous example is UK guidebook writer Chris Craggs.
Locally, I can think of the Kachoong-flashing Jen Stone...
Anyone got any more?
