Glossary of bouldering book: comments welcome


I have just finished writing a ten page glossary for my bouldering book, it would be very helpful if you had a look through it and pointed out any mistakes or omissions.

NOTE I have uploaded an updated version.

    Not sure about the beta description- Does having beta necessarily imply that it is the easiest way to climb a problem - good beta Vs Bad beta?

    Met a guy last weekend in Northumberland who told me that the "gaston" move came from French aplinist Gaston Rébuffat. I knew Rébuffat and I knew the move but I had never made the connection. It takes an Englishman to teach French to the French :-))
    Note sure if it's relevant for your glossary though.
