What is a "Wag" in the context of the article content? Doesn't really make sense if applied to the human waste disposal context of a wag. RedWolf 05:48, Nov 28, 2003 (UTC)

Synonym for "wit" or "joker". Ya know, although I'm pretty sure I've heard multiple people use the term "last ascent" in the sense I described, that was many years ago, I don't think I've seen it in print anywhere, and Google doesn't seem to find any, so it should probably be chucked out, as "unverifiable".

For what it's worth, the term "Last Ascent" has been used for The Gendarme at Seneca Rocks, West Virginia; The Gendarme was a pinnacle that fell in the late 80s or early 90s. I don't have the guidebook handy, but I can find the particulars. Lhclayton 08:49, 28 Dec 2005 (UTC)

I Google-ed "Last Ascent" and their were many hits, after verifying several uses of this context of term on the first page of search results I doubt it needs removed. WikipedianYknOK 23:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Free climbers don't use protection though!!!

Free climbing uses no aids to make progress, Equipment can be used for protection. WikipedianYknOK 23:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
