Chach

A word used by climbers to describe othercimbers (or general public) who:
-generally has no idea what they’re doing.
-forgets their rappel device.
-swears by link cams.
-loves hexes.
-owns a trad rack but never leaves the gym.
-inverts their leg loops.
-drops the juul off pitch 3.
-shows up to the crag in an audi.

While seemingly a derogatory term, chach is an endearing term used amongst friends as a way to describe a poser or otherwise clueless person.

A Chach is the climbers equivalent of a kook or jerry.
“See that chach over there who just got his rope stuck in a tree.”
