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!

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.

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."

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!

Back in the day, when I climbed with Sergio from Mexico City, when I started to lead, he would say, "see you in the funny pages." In at least parts of Mexico, the obituaries are in the same section as the comics. So, maybe that translates into: vas a morir! :) jajaja

his quick retort was "ok, see you in ALARMA!"

Well, in some dialects it means plate, as in licence plate.
Placa de carro in Galician and Portuguese, for instance.
In other regions it can mean a shield or shingle, or all of those.
And the difference between slab and face isn't always clear in English.

In Argentina, for climbers, placa definitely means "face" as in a face climb. It could refer to a slab or even to a somewhat overhanging face ("Las Placas" in La Vigilancia are slightly overhanging and mostly 5.11 to 5.12 in difficulty, although there are a few steep 5.10s). I am not aware of any specific language distinction (here in Argentina) that distinguishes a slab from a steep face (both are called "placas"). Although one could say a slab is "una placa de mierda sin tomas" = a piece of sh#t face climb without holds, or more politely "una placa de adherencia" = a friction face.
I've never heard a climber say "jaraposa" in Argentina. Maybe it's a word used in Mexico or Central America?
By the way, "toma" is the Argentina word for "hold" (as in a climbing hold). A "roma" is a sloper and a "reglatita" is a crimper (edge hold). In Córdoba a jug was a "manejón" but I don't think that word is quite so common among the porteños (people from Buenos Aires). "Fisura" is a crack and "techo" is a roof. In Frey, most people start out climbing "Diedro de Jim" = Jim's Dihedral and "Fisura de Jim" = Jim's Crack, both named for Jim Donini.

Jaraposa = possibly a variant of haraposa...harapa ,"ragged".
From harapa, rag.
No idea if that fits with the pitches in question.
I. See McCreel covered it, though I wouldn't characterize it as mis-spelling. There are several different Spanish languages. (Castilian,Catalan, Aragonese, Galician, etc.) any one of which might have carried over regionally.
As an example, chimichurri, the classic Argentine condiment, comes from Basque tsim I tsurri, " this and that"
Also, in Argentina, you can figure the spelling might be Italian.

Sorry for posting twice in a row, but I just saw TWP's post and he's the one that clued me into this thread. First off I want to emphasize that the common language used by climbers is not uniform across S.A. and I only know (a little bit) about the collequialisms used in Argentina (and even within the country these can be somewhat regional).
Here are a few
1. On belay and off belay: I'm not aware of a specific formal replacement for "on belay", although there probably is one. I usually just say "listo" when I have the belay ready. When a climber gets to the the top of a pitch and is fixed into the anchor, they shout "auto-asegurado", at which point the climber below takes them off belay and shouts back "libre" which is the equivalent of "you are off belay". Don't lean back and expect to get lowered at that point. If you want the belayer to "take" at the end of a pitch yell "tensión".
2. Climb!: If you want to let your belayer know that you are ready to start climbing just say "me voy" or even "voy". There may be a more formal version of this, but I don't know it.
3. Slack: To ask for slack say "soga" or "cuerda" (you're asking for rope). If you want them to take say "tensión!".
Here are some easy ones you asked. I'll try to take on some of the more complicated ones later
shoe = zapatilla (de escalada) or pedula
gloves = guantes
fleece jacket = campera (de polar)
windshell = rompeviento
sweater = sweater (easy!)
socks = medias
fleece = polar
wool = lana
cotton = algodón
tent = carpa
sleeping bag = bolsa de dormir
campsite = lugar para acampar
stove = calentador (I think this is very Argentine)
pot = olla
fry pan = sartén
lid/pan cover = tapa (de olla)
fire = fuego ... there are not many trees in Argentina and not many places where you should "prender fuego" = start a fire
dry wood = leña seca
Hard climb = escalada dificil or escalada dura or via dura, ruta dura, etc.
epic = épica or "una cagada" = a f*#k-up, a screw-up
struggle = luchar (e.g. esa via fue una lucha)
crux = paso clave
red point = encadenar (en primero).
pink point: Fortunately there is not a word for this. You could say something like "encadenar con las cintas puestas"
on sight = a vista
approach = aproximación
climber's trail = sendero (de escaladores) or picada (de escaladores)
a real cockup = una cagada or una joda (this is when something is f*#ked up or someone or something f*#ks with you)

Mostly Marranos in Spain. (Marrancho, cerdos, also)
it's a synonym for cursed, or damned, and what they called crypto Jews and Muslims during the inquisition because they wouldn't eat pork.
The etymology is attested to the New Testament Aramaic " maran atha" .... " the lord has come" or " come, oh Lord"

stove = calentador
I remember estufa. Calentador strikes me as any kind of heater ( like a water heater).
If you want a camping spot, just look for a sign that says "camping".
And in Argentina, anyway, I wouldn't sweat any of it too much. It seems that anyone of climbing age will know some English. The private schools have mandated English for at least the last few years. Big difference from even a couple trips ago. Young people want to practice on you. English is an official language now, and even public school kids get a couple hours a week.
Anybody who is middle class goes to private school.

This is an old list I copied from Tradgirl's web page (Dawn Algard), no longer on line (this dates back to Usenet's rec.climbing):
Rock climbing terms: English-Spanish
Abseil - rappel

GriGri - grigri
A belay device designed to be
easy to use and safe for beginners
because it is self-locking under load.
Bolt – chapa (spits, parabolts)
An anchor-point permanently drilled into the rock.
Bouldering – bouldering o escalada en bloques
The practice of climbing on large boulders. Typically this is close to the ground, so protection takes the form of crash pads and spotting instead of belay ropes.
Carabiner - mosquetón
Metal rings with spring-loaded gates, used as connectors.
Also known as crab or biner.
Locking carabiner -
A carabiner with a locking gate, to prevent accidental release of the rope.

Non-climbers might call this a lunge.
Fall - caída
Undesirable downward motion which is stopped by the rope.

Harness - arnés
Climbing equipment used for attaching a rope to a person.
Helmet - casco
Hold – presa
foothold – presa para el pie
handhold - presa para la mano
Indoor climbing wall – roccódromo
Knots - nudos

Double figure of eight knot – un ocho
Lead climbing – escalar de primero(a)
Where the climber places quickdraws
and attaches the belay rope as they climb.
(to) Lead – ir de primero
Multi-pitch climbing – escalada de varios largos
Climbing on routes that are too long
for a single belay rope.
On-sight – a vista

Single-pitch climbing – escalada de un largo
Usually shorter climbs from 15m to 30m long, covered by one rope.
Sling - cinta
Webbing sewn, or tied, into a loop.
Smearing/to smear – hacer adherencia
To use friction on the sole of the climbing shoe, when there are no useful footholds.
Solo climbing – escalar sin cuerda
Climbing without any protection or rope.
Sport climbing – escalada deportiva (as opposed to traditional climbing)
A form of climbing where grace and technical (or gymnastic) ability are considered important. Sport routes are bolted.
Spotting - portear
A friend of the climber stands beneath them and prevents awkward falls. Used during bouldering, or when the climber has not yet clipped into the first anchor (bolt).
Top rope – en poléa
To belay from a fixed anchor point above the climb.
Traverse
1. To climb in a horizontal direction.
Webbing
Hollow and flat rope, mainly used to make slings.
Basic Climbing Commands:
When you start
Can you belay me? ¿Me puedes asegurar?
Okay! ¡Vale!
Let’s check Comprobamos
Belayer:
Climb when ready Cuando quieras
Climber:
Climbing Voy
While climbing
Climber:
Slack! (give me slack) (Damme) cuerda
Give me rope
More slack más suelta
Take in! - tensa - make rope tenser
Take in! - pillame! - take my weight on the rope
I want to rest on the rope - quiero descansar con la cuerda
(I’m) Clipping in - chapo
Watch me - Atento! Vigila!
(I’m going to fall) - (me voy a caer)
Belayer:
Wait! - Espere!
The rope’s tangled - la cuerda está enredada
Get your arm over the rope - Pon tu brazo encima de la cuerda
Get your leg over the rope - Pon tu pierna encima de la cuerda
Rope’s twisted - la cuerda está torcida
Encouragement
You can do it! - Puedes!
Get your feet up! - Suba los pies!
There’s a good hold to your right - Hay buena presa a tu derecha
To your right - Por la derecha
To your left - Por la izquierda
Right a bit - Un poco más a la derecha
Left a bit - Un poco más a la izquierda
There’s a foothold - Hay presa para tu pie
by your knee - a la altura de tu rodilla
Good! - ¡Muy bien!
Note: apparently there aren’t enough swear words (palabrotas) in the Spanish translation – sorry!
More Climbing Commands:
At the top of the route
Lead climber:
Once you have reached the top and clipped in to one of the
two rings with your lifeline (cinta de vida):
Safe! - Réunion
The belayer can then give a little slack. If the climber is passing
the rope through the rings, they shout:
(I’m going to put the rope through) - (voy a pasar la cuerda)
Give me rope! - damme cuerda
The belayer shouts:
OK! - vale
And gives the climber 2 or 3 metres of rope.
The lead climber ties an overhand knot in the rope and secures it to their harness with a locking carabiner. Then they untie their figure of eight knot and pass the rope through the two rings (anillos), then retie themselves on with a figure of eight. They unclip the carabiner with the overhand knot and undo this knot then shout:
take in - pillame
They wait then when it feels tight, shout down to check:
Have you got me? - ¿me tienes?
Belayer shouts up:
I’ve got you! - ¡Te tengo!
Both belayer and climber can double-check with a thumbs up or
shouting:
ok, ready to come down’ - listo para bajar
bringing you down - te bajo
Multi-pitch climbing
Communication is important, especially on multi-pitch climbs or other situations where you can’t see each other or hear each other well.
When doing multi-pitch it’s important that your partner knows whether they are safe to climb or not. Remember these calls:
on belay - estas asegurado/ya puedes ir
I’ve got you - te tengo
Safe/ take me off belay - estoy seguro
belay off - sin seguro/estas suelto
off rappel - ya puedes bajar/listo, baja!
Useful Sentences:

as to the original request: the word placa is also used for bolt hanger (or at least it was when I used to climb here in Costa Rica).

Dee ee, for this: ñ (on a standard mac keyboard) type option n, then n.
for ¿ type option and shift, then the question mark slash key
for an accent type option e, then the letter to be accented,
for example:
é í
¡For the initial upside down exclamation point, do option, then 1. ¡vamonos!
For hahaha, type: jajaja
