Don't get round. Inside joke phrase with some buddies.
After reading something technical that explained how tumbling objects tend to become round. A bit of thought quickly linked this concept to the aftermath found during body recoveries.

Way back in 1975, I started a lead on the East Ridge of Bugaboo Spire, while Chris leaned back comfortably on the pack he hadn't bothered to take off.
A few feet above him, I looked down and realized that if I fell, I would likely be impaled on the ice axe spike protruding above his pack. I politely, but somewhat tensely requested he remove the pack.
After doffing the pack, he looked up again, spit some chew, and said: "On belay, See you in Hell."
First time I'd ever heard that fine safety quote.

MisterE, MisterE. What happened here???
I believe the rule of the land is:
Smoke pot? Check your knot!
It just works that way.
Turn it around, you never get off the ground.

"Be a Man!"
A hiker yelled this at me when I was stuck 15 feet up while free climbing, just two holds away from the top.
Since I am female... I found it humorous enough to forget my fear. It's now my safety motto.
