"Shut the fuck up!" My partner's response after I told him "you're going to deck if you fall" while runout 45 feet up. And that was the day that I learned that leaders don't always want the truth from their belayer.

The low consequence scramble down from the summit to the rap anchor is one at a time, and since I hadn't untied yet, my partner who has must of the rope in a big pile by his shoulders says in the dumbest shaka-bro voice, "Dude, you're on hip belay!" (a few seconds later) "Oh shit dude! You're on neck belay!"

A friend of mine who is a brand new climber is stuck and I yell to her: “use the undercling!” She yells back: “how?” Me: “….cling it! …from under!” Equally as helpful, and this would always make me laugh, calling down to my belayer “I’m scared!” And her calling back: “ok!”

1) After a little runout midway up the short first pitch, I got the pleasure of clipping a 40-year old (east coast) pin. My partner said: "You're back on belay". 2) After placing a funky blue tricam: "Better clip this thing before it falls out". 3) Me and my partner at the base looking at a mid-size tree on the ground that had recently fallen off the cliff: - "Do you know how it fell?" (inquiring if there was a story in the community or on MP about someone inadvertently pulling it off) - "Not sure. But I bet gravity was involved."

In 1973 when Bev Johnson and Sibylle Hechtel became the first women team to climb El Capitan , a Spanish team above them fell off and flew down by them ! Bev was supposed to have said " You don't see that everyday " .

In the Fisher's, looking up at the next pitch, "Not my pitch, not my problem"

I said, "Watch me here, buddy!" And my partner replied, "That's OK, I've done this route before!"
