Holey run-out! (first time in rrg)
It’s like hugging a fridge
We all die someday
Put some chalk on and think about rainbows
Pinch like hell
Did you really just run that out
Let’s warm up on the easiest route here, lets see… oh! 511c who’s first?
SHARMA YELL!!!

His reply..."Oh,...........(long pause)..........so am I."

Don't worry, I haven't dropped anyone for almost an entire week.

When climbing with a spouse: 'Dont think for a second that they'll just fork over that Life Insurance payout without doing a detailed and thorough investigation'

3 hangs and I usually cut the rope and escape the belay.

If you fall on (5.6, 5.7, 5.8, etc.) then you deserve to die.

Belay is on.
Dieing.
Die on.

From a belay anchor on a multi-pitch route to the leader: Well, yeah, it is starting to rain, but at least it's a dry rain.

Dylan Randall · · Nashville, TN · Joined Sep 2012 · Points: 615

On belay?
Belay on.
Climbing!
Not for long...

Climber looking at belayer with tie in knot in hand, "We're good?" Belayer back to climber, "it's your funeral."

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
