Use of the verb "to send" to mean something other than mailing a letter.

The sale of Rock & Ice at Whole Foods' checkout stands pretty much sums it all up nicely.
I still think Joe has the winner, because this confirms that climbing has become a mainstream activity for the well to do, fashionably countercultural elite. Lycra is a close second. The climber's misuse of the verb "to send" and the noun "beta" are up there, too.

Use of the word "project" as a verb to mean working on a project. Gah!
Oh, "splitter" as an adjective for anything good as in "a splitter day." It's ONLY acceptable--just barely--for describing good cracks.
As a bonus Gah! I'm seeing "blue bird day" all over the place these days.
Kill the cliches! Kill the cliches! Kill 'em dead.

The development of the attitude that "climbing used to be better back before [insert offensive climbing development here]" and a lack of realization that those offensive modern developments led to the growth of the sport.

Hands down the "daisy chain", and suddenly en-mass everybody had to have one girth hitched to their belay loop, sometimes two of them. We had a guy at Jackson used to walk around with one between his legs clipped to his rear loop, plus he was short, so you get the picture.

climbers afraid of falling. ie: sport climbers and boulding only people.
I fall a lot more sport climbing than I do on gear routes.
Your point fails.

The mentality that tard climbing is superior to boldering or spurts climbing just because grumpy old men can sew their way up a 5.8 crack without risking more than a 3' fall at any given time.
