Anyone lazy enough to be a climber for Halloween?

If so, curious how you’ll do it. For uh, research. 

Seriously considering it. I think it’d be pretty novel in my town.

I have gone as a climber several times. One year I went as a "helmet head." That is I "wore" all of my helmets at the same time, one for climbing, one for skiing, one for kayaking, one for biking, etc. 

Go as an aid climber. Bring a massive rack on your harness, carry around a poop tube, and get really, really drunk

To scare climbers, Go as…

a crag dog 

Belay tag

Rope X

Tristan Hamm

Or anything from the ick thread

I dressed up as a dead climber at a halloween party in Aspen.  I cut open a helmet and glued a rock into the hole.  Cut and shredded a rope hanging from my harness, blood and gore on my face.  I thought it was a pretty good costume until some people told me I had bad taste.  I guess a local climber had died from rockfall just a month before.

Ice climbing slasher . . .

Climber; no…promiscuous climber; hell ya 

Yeah, once. Got a last minute invite to a party one year so I went as a climber with my partner dressed up as a mountain and this dude (climber in my extended circle) proceeded to tell me all the reasons why my costume of literal climbing gear was actually not very good and pretty inaccurate. Thanks bro. 

My wife and I once went to a climber party dressed like this and no one got it. What are we? 

I went as an ice climber. The host was really mad about their hardwood floors.

My wife tried that costume once. Slinky dress under a harness and puffy. We said she was a “social climber.” I thought it was hilarious, and hot. No one else laughed though, so I guess I can’t recommend it.

Just talk about yourself very loudly using the word "send" and flail your arms about. If you want to add the dirtbag affect, bum beers all night and piss on the front lawn.

My friend and I went as a team with a short rope between us to the big Isla Vista street party at UCSB. A wild party. We would encircle whole groups of people and bring everyone together by tightening the circle. It was hilarious and people had fun and laughed. Not sure how this would be reacted to these days? We wore helmets and got stager drunk on imported European beer which we carried in our back packs. I remember placing a hex anywhere and everywhere that looked promising. This was in the early eighties and everybody was loose and relaxed. Good times. 

yes

Creed, are you and your wife Rope Guns ?

My partner and I are being climbing pirates. Pirates of the carabiner.

My friend went as Warren Harding once and used a hand drill as a corkscrew for a bottle of wine.
