I used to have a page of climbing one-liners. I got it at the Escape Route at Cal Poly a long time ago. The other day I realized I've lost it. Dang it! I can only remember a few of them. Can everyone else pitch in with their favorites?

Hand Jam or Test Cam

Finger Locks or Cedar Box

If You Fail To Prepare, Prepare to Fail

If You Fail to Prevail, Prepare to Impale

Beta Max or Heavy Racks

Move That Hold, You’re Growing Mold

Flash Man or Trash Can

Don’t Be a Moper, Reach for the Sloper

Crank the Edge or Hit the Ledge

Jeez Climbrunride,

Those are funny. I must've been climbing with the wrong crowd these 7 years, cause all of my one-liners go like this:

On belay
Belay on
Climbing
Climb on







Fuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkk!!!







You OK?







Goddammit...



Climbing!

Make that move or six foot groove.

Here's an overheard I sent to Climbing years ago:

Sam the Israeli after several attempts on Big Bob's Big Wedge--

"No mistake or flat pancake"

"Edging skills or hostpital bills"

When lowering someone off into a crowd, instead of yelling "heads-up" just yell "Ass-as-a-hat"

I always took great joy in handing my rack to a climbing partner...or, really, anyone remotely nearby, and saying "Hold my nuts for a second, would you?"

Predictable and cliche, I know. I'll go back over there now.
