Putting a little petroleum jelly on the end of your shoe helps you squeeze into those little tiny cracks.
One can eliminate the need to hangdog by putting a hook on the front of their helmet while climbing and just hangin by their noggin for awhile. Its a great way to go to the bathroom.

Bottle rocket in the butt?
Sounds pretty GAY!!
Always climb in your underware durring rain and snowstorms! It does'nt weigh as much.
Watch movies like Vertical Limit to see how real climbers climb.
Carry logs and wood for fires at night on your portaledge. This will keep you warm!

guys but you should really start cleaning your harnesses with windex or drain cleaner. it works the best. and your ropes too. and never double back your harnesses espeshely when yoor lead climbing. and rachels advice works. you really shoulf super glue the rope to the rock it does work better than quick draws

I find that duct tape works better than any other type of gear for protection.
Also Bunny slippers (the kind with the big floppy ears) are the best rock shoes for steep overhanging routes.
