Me: "Bata?!?!"
My partner: "Stop sucking so much!"

I help a lot of kinds climb so I hear "I can't do it." a lot so the response that I give "You can always try." Has kinda become a motto for me.

Once a long time ago I took a good whipper and reflexivly yelled F--- like three times before I was caught. Everyone on the ground thought it was the funniest thing ever. For the rest of the day whenever anyone was talking about a fall people always wanted to know how many F---'s it was. *sigh* good times. Well there you have it, my first post. Feel free to flame on!

When instructing a hottie on her first rappel:
"Lean back, spead your legs, try to relax and enjoy the ride".

Heard at Smith Rock by a hangdogging climber to the belayer:
"We are experiencing technical difficulties. The normal climbing program will resume shortly."

From the leader to the belayer on a tough mixed climb:
"I'm out of Friends, my nuts are too small and I need a longer screw. Send up some more gear!'

Spoken to my college mates when announced I would be living out my car upon graduation (in order to climb harder):
"Making a good living can get in the way of good living."

And I always enjoyed,
"Oooh shit! You got me??"
---"No, hold on a minute."

I can't believe this hasnt been used yet. "Time to rack up, and sack up". another one thats not quite a motto, just somthing I say when a friend is WAY run out, or freaked, or almost just died: "I'ts good for your head"

Why are there seven pages wasted on stupid mottos when the most hilarious one of all is on page two?
In reply to:
"jesus died for you!"

Thanks, bodyboarder. I plan on using that on any leader who has the slightest trouble. It'd make me laugh so hard I would come off.

Can we not vote?

I heard Andy Selters say this to a partner, who he had talked into leading, when she started cussing him.

“Get UP this thing!!”

“Rock over and stand up”

“Goddamnit Pyle!! If God wanted you up this route…He would have miracled your ass up there by now!”

“Put on your big girl panties and suck it princess”

“Yooooouuu can doooo eeeeettt!”

“Summon the spirits of the ancients…” (Followed by screams of the Samurai)




We have a blast when we climb…and there’s really nothing more enjoyable than heckling the freaked out leader.


Permission to use "Goddamnit Pyle" from here on out?

A motto as a reminder to go with yellow and red gear marking tape:

"Cowardice and Rage - neither one will get you up a rock..."

"grow a set"

"B.U.A.D" (Buck Up And Deal)

"hoka hey" i'm quite shure that is spelled wrong but it is an indian war cry that means "it's a good day to die"

Heard from an Outward Bound instructor, using a (fake) thick German accent:

"Wait, don't let him down. Someone get him a straw so he can SUCK IT UP."

My two favorites:
"SHUT UP AND CLIMB!"- taken from a polish dude screaming at his girlfriend in lillooet, canada
"Stay on target"- you should know where that's from

Yeah, but Jesus was an aid climber- those nails were like pitons. so i dont think this would work for sport routes....

i say this all the time "just rock it on over!" when i used to work at Galyans at the wall, whenever someone would try to make it over the overhang and they ask what do i do now...i would reply by saying "just rock it on over!" so now everytime i go climb everyone always says that to me!
