It’s 2018 and we expect more climbers than ever to be hitting the road in their vans for weeks or months of climbing, surfing and aimless wandering.
As Urban Dictionary defines “whip”: “When the steering wheel was first put into use in automobiles, it was called the whip.
“The whip is what you used to control the horses on a stagecoach, hence the analogy. Many years later, various hip hop artists noticed that the Mercedes-Benz logo resembled a steering wheel.
“They then proceeded to use the old term ‘whip’ to describe any Mercedes-Benz vehicle. The term has now been generalized to classify any expensive automobile.”
Most climbers only need a gutted Chevy Astro with a futon and camp stove for a successful road trip, but some road trippers like to travel fancy.
