The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) in Wales is undertaking a project to restore the original names of zones in Dinorwic Quarry, reflecting those used by 19th-century workers. This initiative aims to honor the labor and history of those who created the sites now enjoyed by climbers. The revived names like 'California Funks' and 'Australia' reflect both historical events and the tough conditions faced by the workers. This movement towards restoring old place names is part of a global trend, also seen in the renaming of landmarks in Alaska and Australia to their indigenous names, 'Denali' and 'Uluru.'
