Standing on bolt hangers. Stemming off of trees. Grabbing runners when we think nobody's looking. Getting hauled past the crux by our belayer. Just about all of us have engaged in some sort of heinous poor climbing form at some time or another. So, if you've got pics post up! The worse form the better.

you forgot using your belayer as a ladder to miss the crux just off of the ground.

Oh FFS. I know the recent news about Ken Nichols has everyone running around in an uproar but is it possible to have at least ONE thread on here that doesn't figure out a way to devolve into "I chopped your bolt/entire crag/mom"
vs "zomfgxors, i fucking bomb your mother!!" ?

A friend of mine out west, pretty much a non-climber. She decided to get on something over her head and had to start hanging barely off the gound:
I think it was still good of her to even get on the route in the first place though.

I don't have a photo, but I stemmed onto a little tree on the second pitch of a route this past weekend. I've done the climb without that disgraceful display in the past, and felt I had nothing to prove. Besides, I think I was out of sight from my belayer.

I haven't climbed it since it was finished last year, but I hear it's an excellent route, bolts and all.
