After the film emoji thread, someone suggested a climbing version. I don't have the time or knowledge to compile a big list but I thought we could all chip in with some of our favourites? Here's an hard very difficult one to begin with...
🚲 💩
Okay, okay.
That was supposed to be 'pedal' 'stool' route - Pedestal Route
Sorry it might have been too cryptic (impossible!)
🎅🍑
Christmas curry?
⛷
Downhill racer?
🧐👨🏻🎓
Yes, didn’t even need a “down” or a hill!
are we meant to have climbed them, cos I haven’t
🤏🏻😳🦵🏻🦵🏻
🦥
🧚🏻♀️🥿🥿
Yes! I wasn’t sure about the “ashamed” emoji but took a gamble. There were easier ways to do it but they were too easy
💃🕺🛢👗
Almost cryptic phonetic
Correct

"Quietus" ?
Yes, that's very neat.
> "Quietus" ?
Yes!
PS I see my clue now completely differently to in the preview; I get a different emoji plus the letters "UM" instead of the US flag! Seems to have worked though!

Depends on your platform. I think a lot of these are set up from iPhones. When viewed on a PC they change a lot and can become impossible

Yes, that was it - back on my phone now and can see everything again. Thanks!

yes
> Not quite sure how it works, but maybe A Fistful of Dollars?
Good one but no. Two words, both a bit of a long shot. For the $, think about “dollar ???”
Via Dolorosa?
That's gotta be a redhead route, whatever it is!
Yup 👍

👐🌊😧
Think hard limestone...
errrrm... Gardyloo Gully (II) ?
correct
Bingo!
> German Schoolgirl?
No it was Suspect Intellect. The variation in how emojis appear, according to platform, is proving problematic.

Galactic Coordinator?
(Confession time - I'm using the search function to try and solve some of these)
> (Confession time - I'm using the search function to try and solve some of these)
I've tried that
Is this one 👹🍆💦
"Ogre Knob Sweat"?
(btw I reserve that name for the remote chance I ever put up a new route)
🕛⚡️
Midnight Lightning?
> Tormented ejaculation??
If that's right, can it be the last Redhead route please 😄
Correct!

6 Eastern Hammer?
Yes!
Correct!
No. It’s a bit left field, you might slate me once you figure it out...
Oh God! I know what No.1 is! Did you have to!? As if that was the first one you came up with too. 😂
Yes! Nice.

Arête Des Cosmiques
Can’t imagine he had some random 5.8 in mind!
I’m really proud of one of those and I’m sad nobody has gotten it yet!

I mean, I doubt its this one too but a Gower severe seems more likely

Have you not seen all the comments about how the emojis look different according to platform (and maybe even browser) which renders a lot of these gibberish ?
Yes but I just assume everyone else uses an iPhone and let the androids of this world worry about it
Correct!
