Only one real hard and fast rule, "DON"T DIE" whether its your fault or your belayers.
Some times the choice is neither yours nor your belayers, but some idiot throwing stuff, or the cliff/mountain throwing stuff. In the first case your belayer is entitled to free beer at leas,t from the thrower. In the second case your belayer is allowed to run, after he has made sure you are totally dead, and he has collected your gear/wallet and whatever else of value you have with you.

Tell that to Bob Scarpelli next time you are at Vedauwoo. Be sure to sneer at him in a condescending manner too. (Oh yeah. Check your medical and dental insurance first).

I didn't say they have more injuries or deaths. I said someone else gets to clean up after them. We're talking codes here, right? That should be part of the code: If you free solo and splat, someone else should have to clean you up. That sounds fair.

If you snore or if there is a chance you snore as loudly as a freight train, warn your climbing partners to bring ear plugs or pass them out at bedtime. This may fall under pet peeve and not the code.

H#ll no,
If you go splat (soloing, leading or TP'ing) you are responsible for the mess you are made, or your estate should be fined for littering.

actually, there is some good advise on this thread. Just remember, the only rule;
There are no rules!- Jim Bridwell
Getting out of the way of a free soloist isn't a rule, it's just common sense, you want someone as big and fat as me, crashing down on you?

For sure. I still feel like a dickfor for not paying in for the last ride (the driver told me a few times to not worry about it). Is contributing to a community chalk bucket an acceptable substitution?

If you mean "you're," don't type "your." If you don't know the difference, just don't type.

Since no one else mentioned it, the Beer Rule from when I took up climbing. Don't step on the rope, if you do, you owe me a beer. Not any Coors junk, a good beer. So don't step on the rope.
The other Rule was, when belaying don't let go ever. Now I see people I see people letting go all the time. But its OK cause it a fifi or a fofo or some mumbo jumbo. If I'm climbing with you, I'm holding on period, even if some other party is climbing on my head to get to the next hold. You do the same.
Everything else falls under Guidelines. Arr.
The sharing of gas, climbs, crags, routes, and campsites works best with the do unto others, as you would have others do unto you. I have shared a route with strangers often enough, and it has always worked out well for everyone involved.

Bad idea. Should read, "If you must shit, dig a hole, poop in hole, cover hole, feel good that people won't smell/stand in your shit!
