Even Bald Mountain (Cerro Pelon), Big Head (Cabezon), Fly Mountain (Mosca), Little Tit (Tetilla) and Very Little Tit (Tetillita) sound better in Spanish.

You just made me remember, there's a Whiskey Dick Mountain near Ellensburg, WA. It seems like "Dick" mountains are fairly common.

Googlemaps often postfixes "BM" when a mountain's name is derived from the benchmark name. Up near Ely we have "Major BM," and believe me, I stay clear of that peak.

In the southern Cascades near Ashland, OR, there was a road named "Dead Indian Road." The locals decided that was not PC, so they changed the name to be more respectful. Now it's "Dead Indian Memorial Road."

Maybe someone got circumsized up there?

Note that Bloody Dick is next to Big Hole.

At Suicide Rock, California..."Limp Dick"

There are 24 Red mountains, 43 Sheep mountains, 31 Bald mountains, 25 Green mountains in Colorado. Search LOJ for your own state.

My favorite is Dicker's Peck. Maybe Pecker's Dick was too explicit...

Another favorite is Many Thunders Mountain. Just seems like a good name for the area its in.

Why, Arizona ... as in, why the holy hell am I living here ...?

It would be interesting if more mountains were named like climbing routes are named ( or even bouldering routes). Alot of mountains are named after people, sorry but that's kind of boring. If I discovered a mountain or was the first to climb it I wouldn't name it after myself or someone great I know. I'ld pick something a little more memorable. Examples of route names here "Spanish Lap Dancer, Meat Grinder, Nipple Eraser, Elvis Pelvis, Big Moose on the Loose, Backstabbing B*****". Now that could make an interesting guided tour of a mountain range. "Over here we have "Le Danse de Toaster and over there we see the wonderful Misery made Beautiful next to Mosquito Punch."

I do agree that there is a Sugarloaf everywhere you go. We have a Crabbe mountain here.

Apparently in the Trango Towers region the first climbers in the area were guided by a local. Nobody had seen these spires before so when the climbers asked the guide what the names were, he just pulled names out of thin air, not wanting to dissapoint his clients.
