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

“Zach quit being such a Chachbag, how
long does it take to build an anchor?!”
