Although it doesn't apply to me:

It should be an old climber who says that and it should be, " I remember when sex was safe and climbing was dangerous."Wink

I like these:

"A climber's day always starts at the crux: getting out of bed." kind of a funny one

"How do you distinguish between being off-route and putting up a first ascent

In fact, I think you should add your body fat to the rating of the climb, to get a true measure of your inner climber. So climbing a 5.7 with 22% body fat is way harder than climbing a 5.14 with 3% body fat."

"Bouldering is like masturbation: not as good as the real thing but you don't need to worry about your protection."

damn, I forgot about that guy. It was funny how seriously everyone took him. I mean, he was the last bastion of the serious climber, though.

exchange at Mayhem Cove at Tahoe:

Silas: "What should I lead for my turn?"

Me: looking at guidebook, "Let's see, you could try Mutilated Corpses..."

Silas: looking up, squinting at overhanging wall, "Well that doesn't sound like fun"

I guess you had to be there for that to be funny.
