Bill Ramsey:

I had always appreciated the tradition of naming climbs after famous battles (like Agincourt at Buoux), and Omaha Beach at Normandy had been one of America’s most harrowing victories in WW II. Also, on Omaha Beach, the key to the battle was climbing a desperate cliff above a bad and insecure shelf – just like the route. [1]
