Maybe they are yelling "Allez!", but you just can't hear them because it is imaginary...

What? Or, y' know, it's a drawing mannequin, but the clay idea is cool too.
I think you should use it to illustrate sequences on climbs you've done. Instead of the standard bizarre, drunken miming we tend to do when telling stories, you could just reenact it all in miniature.

I ran accross this company that makes "climber" wine a few months back. I've never tried any, but it would definately be a step up from the PBR my buddy and I usually take on a road trip.
You can order it from http://www.cliffamilywinery.com

I once guided Alton Brown's (Food Network Chef) kid's birthday party at the gym I used to work at. He gave those out as part favors.

I know it sounds lame but that's what we called it. I assumed that's what belayers are called at all gyms.

But how are they going to know to follow the tape, find the drinking fountain, or bathroom if I do not guide them to it.

If a guide falls in a gym does anyone hear it?
