"Concerns raised after it was revealed routes in popular climbing area outside Stockholm had been given names inspired by Third Reich. Climber: It is rather unpleasant to climb through 'Crematorium' or say that 'now I am going to do 'Kristallnacht'.
A series of mountain crags called 'Swastika' and 'Himmler' have caused uproar in Sweden after a climber publicized the Nazi-inspired names given to the popular climbing area, the Telegraph reported Saturday.
According to accepted climbing practice, the first person to tackle a route has the right to name it, but concerns have been raised after it was revealed that routes in the popular Järfälla climbing area outside Stockholm had been given names inspired by the Third Reich, the British newspaper reported."
