As a belayer, I believe that you are held to a certain degree of responsibility for your climber. Therefore, what are things that you never want to hear a climber say when you are on the belay end?
Here's mine:
When my partner was pulling up rope to clip a bolt about 3 feet above him, he just let the slack go and said shit; guessed he was too pumped to hang on. I thought, "All that slack. He's going to fall far. Don't want him to get hurt. Etc."

I am sick of hearing climbers bit*h about cracked cuticles and chalk allergies. Climbing is hard, rock is sharp, yes it can be unpleasant...more often then not. So quit being such a wuss or just stop climbing and stay inside.

krusher4, what can you expect with a name like krusher4. Why are you even on the message boards? You're obviously a manly man and like to do manly things like climb outside. Stick to what you do best and KRUSH THAT ROCK!!!
I guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions with your name. Since my name is 12inchtick and I have a small penis but this is what I picture...
Krusher4 rulz and can climb v15/5.15. He never climbs inside because it's a sissy thing to do. Gymz don't cause your fingers to callouse enough to ever climb plastic. He can also chug a handle of liquor and slays mad bitches. His aim screenname is clitBeatR and all his friends call him the ladies man.

Hearing the climber say "I see the anchors, they're about 25ft. away" as you look and see that there's about 10ft. of rope left.

Well, as much as I appreciate the warning, I can't say I'm thrilled when the climber I'm belaying yells "Rock!!!" in a panicked tone.

This happend four pitches up once...
Me: 5 feet of rope left.
Partner: OK..., clean the anchor.
Me: Did you find the anchor? Are you ready for me to take you off belay?
Partner: Kind off. Clean the anchor. I'm still another 45 feet from any anchor possibilites. I guess we just get to simil belay each other.
Me: F***!
The scary part is I actually went along with it.

I hate hearing: I think it would be safer if I finish instead of bailing.
