Anyone know the translation of these words:
jaraposa
placa
For some reason, online translators do not have definitions for these words:) But they do have "diedro" (dihedral)!
Thanks!

Are you looking at a Spanish guidebook and if so which one? What context are those words written?

I am looking at the topo for Mediterraneo. I suspected "placa" meant slab and I think "jaraposa" means "crux" (...or "fragile, potentially unrepeatable hooking").
Below is the topo:

Placa means slab, Jaraposa doesn't mean anything (I guess Gallego brothers named it for some reason only they know), Toblerone is a trademark for a Swiss chocolate bar (again I guess they called it for some personal reason), techo means roof and común a la ruta NOSE means common with NOSE route.

"haraposa" means "ragged", and in Spanish, a "j" sounds like an English "h", so I think it's just a misspelling on the topo. That's at the height of the gray bands, which are sort of rough and ragged.

It makes sense. A misspelling on Desnivel magazine, too...

Is it true that the spaniards refer to their pigs as putas? Brilliant usage if so!

Going to South America. Calling Don Paul y Yanquil for more help.
Want to know common Spanish terminology/vocabulary.
Found this thread already exists, so won't start a new one.
How about help with the correct translation for a set of common terms. Yes, some are obvious and easy, but worthwhile having a virtual Spanish climbing dictionary in one place.
Eventually, I will sort and alphabetize all entries made on this thread so a real dictionary might be available with "one stop shopping."
Here's a good working list of terms in topic headings:

Colorful, colloquial and vernacular
This is lifted from a post by Yanqui where he expounds upon the use of the Spanish term for fart. That word is "redo." Very useful word to know how to use.
Pedo is the equivalent in Spanish for the word fart. In the Argentine vernacular there are various interesting and creative uses of the word fart in everyday language.
The simplest is "en pedo" = in the fart, which literally means drunk (e.g. wasted, although I've never heard it used for the effects of drugs other than alchohol). For example: "este tipo está muy en pedo" = that guy is totally sh#t-faced. In the fart (en pedo) also has several figurative usages, for example it can mean "crazy" (figuratively: acting drunk). For example, if someone said: "Let's start an online discussion about the importance of placing draws on a sport climb", an appropriate response would be "Estas en pedo?" = Are you insane? (Are you drunk? literally: are you in the fart?). Another figurative use is: ni en pedo = no way (not even drunk) as in: "Would you consider taking a faculty position in Miami?"; the answer would be: "ni en pedo" (not in the fart).
A different construction is the form "al pedo" = to the fart. This means to do something to no avail or in vain. For example, if you're constructing an elaborate online argument to convince a religious fanatic in a social network that everything written in the Bible is not the literal truth you're "gastando energía al pedo" = using your energy in vain (literally: spending your energy to the fart). There is a similar vernacular that uses the plural of the same form but means something quite different: a los pedos = to the farts. This is to be (excessively) in a hurry. For example, if you're driving way too fast for the situation, you would be "andando a los pedos".
Yet another form is "de pedo" = from the fart. This means to do something by luck or chance, as in: "me salio la via de pedo" = I got up that rig by pure luck (literally: I got up that rig from the fart).
The last for now (there are others) is "cagar a pedos" = sh#t to farts. This means to (viciously) tell some one off. For example: "Cuando le dije a mi mujer que iba a dejar mi trabajo para escalar full time me cagó a pedos" = When I told my wife I was going to quit my job to climb full time she really ripped me a new one (literally: she sh#t me to farts).
Summary of uses of pedo;
en pedo = crazy, insane, drunk
al pedo = by chance, by luck
cagar a pedo = forcefully tell someone off, rip someone a new as#@&%e
no hay pedo = no problem!

maricona = hangdogger
Uh, well, maybe in a climbing milieu but I would use mandilón.
