When I was stressing out on a climb at the crux, fumbled the clip and dropped the bight of rope around my neck, my reserved belayer muttered:

"uh oh"

Belayer: "Uh- could you grab onto something or clip in for a sec?"

Climber: "Yes... um... why?"

Belayer: "Now can you toss your ATC down? I left mine at home."

My partner was rapping down and I told him how much it would suck if he didnt put through rope through the biner on rap and how bad it would be to just fall down. I was pissed at him. He told me to shut the eff up and apologized for being a dick earlier in the day.

ok, I know this post has been done a few times before, but I had a recent experience with a belayer that makes the list.


Belayer: "5 meters left.... I mean feet, not meters."
me: (15 feet above my last piece, on a slab looking for the anchors) "how much rope? Where are these Anchors?"
Belayer: " I'm not sure, hold on."
I look down and his girlfriend is holding the brake line while he looks at the guide book.

I don't think CCH would appreciate this but here goes:

Belayer:"I think that crux is protected with an orange alien!"

You guys are all thinking waaaay too small. It goes a little more like:

"You got a stance? 'Cause aliens are invading, and the human race is to spend it's last days in blinding agony locked into horrible torture engines for the pleasure of its sadistic alien overlords."

you know, i've heard that before!
