"Pegging the jingly on the old bumbly" Used when placing a large cam (jingly) down low so the second (old bumbly) has to carry it.

"Don't fall now or we'll both go." Used in any situation to give second extra incentive to not fall.

"Z-bobblebackclip" A Z-clip followed by a bobble clip (clipping and falling at the same time) finished off with a back clip.

"If you yell 'Up Rope' one more time I'm gonna give you penalty slack!"

Belayer: "If you fall here, I'll just run in the opposite direction..."

Female Climbing partner says-"Don't take your eyes off that pocket till your fingers are in it."

In Indian Creek-"Big rack huh? Little sack."

"Watch me!" (while on TR)... Mumble "Fkn Pussy."

"Anyone gotta stamp?... Cuz I'm about to send this shiiit!"

New partner, 1st pitch, about 20ft off the ground-"What's this rope holdy thingy called again? I just pull this leaver all the way to lower you right?"

You can't lie back every route in Indian Creek unless you're Euro and/or climb .13s.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
