What greg mentions is true, but vocalising can also help release emotional energy that comes from fear and stress, as related to pushing thru a hard move or sequence of moves, on a route. my climbing partners all mention the vocalizations I make when pushing thru difficult moves. I refer to that as part of my focus mechanism.
if I think about it, everyone I've ever climbed with, male or female, has vocalised at some point on a route. its part of the game, I think.
to the OP, remember, guys are pigs. young guys aren't able to hide their piggishness and well as older guys can, um, sometimes.
