Which was the worst thing you’ve heard from your belay, while you struggle with the crux?
The worst thing I’ve heard was “Hey you, I’m sorry but I don’t know if I hold you right, don’t be afraid I’ll find someone to help you”
climb on
AND
BELAY GOOD

When I was leading a 5.10 my belayer yelled out "don't you hate it when someone posts a forum on RC.com that has been discussed a billion times?!?!?!"

"Is the biner supposed to be pulling on the gate when I belay you?" Let's just say I've never held onto the wall so hard in my life.

One time I was trying to clip in and I yelled for slack....and the response was...
"hang on man...I am taking a leak, but dont worry, cause I tied the rope in a knot"

"Ok, you're back on belay" (Just after pulling through a crux that left me mega pumped, he was joking of course)
"What the F**K did you do that for?" (While I hung from the lip of a 3m horizontal roof, the crux of the route. I found out later on that a draw had mysteriously unclipped itself from my harness, maybe I grabbed two or it was clipped to my shirt or something, and nearly hit him)
And last nights at the local gym
climber: Ok, you can lock me off now.
begginer belayer: Is there meant to be this much slack?
(He had been taking in on the wrong side, basically belaying backwards, and the guy would've decked from about 10m if he had let go after finishing the route)
