What safe and hilarious thing do you do to you climbing belay buddies.
My favorites are:
1 penalty slack
2 getting a top roped climber to look down so you can yank the rope and whip em in the face before he climbs
3 holding them a inch above the ground
4 Toxic clouds-farting while doing the crux so it is even more fun when your buddy has to do it

I'm not sure if thats quite in the theme of the post... but thanks for the good attitude.
I dunno, about 'pranks' but we always give smart-assed beta when the climber needs help.
"where do I go from here?"
"up!"
"why can't I figure this out?"
"mostly cause you can't climb worth a darn."
etc

I do the exact same stuff! Especially the toxic shit clouds. I fart like crazy when I climb. Oftentimes my belayer will make some wise-ass comment about it and I'll laugh so friggin' hard that I'll have to take!

on this one climb, the start is particularly sequential, and for whatever reason, a bit time consuming to get through... any way.. when my buddy started the climb, my other friend would clip carabiners and pieces of gear on his back loop. The climber was so focused on the climbe it got to where he almost had a 5 foot chain of crap hanging from his back belay loop before he realized he was carrying and extra 5 pounds!!
Maybe you had to be there?

Whining=Penalty slack. The more you whine, the more slack you get. (ok, I always make sure that the fall is safe...blah...blah...blah)

on the last route of the day, when your partner is on the rock, hide a large flat rock in the bottom of his pack. sometimes my partners go weeks before finding them. one day, there were three of us and each person rocked the other and no one knew. we all complained the whole way out about how exhausted we were and how heavy our packs were.

Just simple, old-school refusing to lower if they don't finish the route.
Oh, or tying them off "Just for a second---I gotta pee real bad" and then bouldering for a while while they're hanging.
Yes, I rteraded!

I really like screwing with my good friends while they are working a hard problem. Like, pretending to be a bad belayer. Classic example is when they yell TAKE! just reply, hey, hold on a second, OK? even though you have already taken up the slack. Haha. Gota know your partners well for this one, some people go nuts.

Rock in the pack. I love this one.
I am gonna try it this weekend. 
My fav trick, and it's been around for a long time.
When you bud has just finished a hard send, and their back on the ground. Give him a hard, chalk covered, pat on the back Attaboy!
Never gets old.

Wait until your victim is engrossed in the crux of a route and run to the bushes with their camera in tow. Take a photo of a chicken brain and return said camera exactly as you found it.
The hilarity of this prank is much better with a film camera.

This one time, my buddy was whining all day about the crux of this pitch. When we got back to the car, I smashed his windshield..LOL
There was another this gym climber showed up. He really didn't know how to put on his harness so I pretended to help him then fucked him in the ass. You should have seen the look on his face.
One time, there was a guy who had a really yappy dog at the crag. I snuck into his campsite at night and kidnapped the dog. I then mailed his dog back in pieces over the next 3 months, I bet that dude is still laughing about that one.
I've got a few better ones but those will do for now.

It was my second time ever climbing. My Friend was belaying me from above.
He had hidden the anchor under the rope and made it look like he was standing unsecured on the edge belaying from his harness. When I got to the top he said; glad you didn’t fall!

I like to hide playing cards in my buddies guidebooks, packs, glove compartments, etc. with graphic pictures of naked men on them. The first time I hit a buddy with one of those cards they pull it out and are like...What The Hell...and then drop it like it was a TURD.

While DWS in I was climbing an unknown route, and a friend of mine wanted to get a picture so he climbed up the easy slab next to me. As I was approaching the last bolts, I couldn't find any decent holds to top out on. My friend kept telling me there was a good hold about 2" above where my hand was so I start slapping away at a terrible sloper when I finally get pumped and fall ~40' to the water below. When he gets down I ask what his definition of a "good hold" was and he told me he just wanted an action shot of someone falling. Thanks bro.

When someone is wanting that RP they have been working so hard for and they have already chalked up and are standing there looking at the crux... either pull the draw string shut on their chalk bag or put in a handful of rocks. They are so focused on the route they don't notice... until they get to said crux and can't chalk... and fall trying to get the bag open or rocks out so they can chalk.

My favorite is to give them a firemans belay, tie them off and walk away. Wait for the fire dept. to come get them down

stash some beer in your partners pack, then offer him one on the summit after retrieving it while hes not looking.
