Edit to add: You can also sandbag someone by lying to them. "Hey dude, how hard does the guidebook say this one is?" "Uh... 5.10c[teeheehee]. God for it dude!" ...... "Wha.... Watch me here! WATCH ME!!".
There was a thread a little while ago, called something like "My first .12" and it was a dude's story about his buddy-slash-mentor who sandbagged him on every route, so he thought he was a .10 climber. Then, one day, he topped out a .10c or something and lowered off. Everyone congradulated him on his first 5.12. I reall it being pretty well written, I'll try to find it.
