"Dying"
"Die on."
And one time i was lying back while he was jamming it in...
all jokes aside, nothing is funnier than watching people flail cleaning their sport gear. Record any part of those sentences, pure gold. "Take! Ok I'm going to unclip real fast, when i do jump back because these holds are seeping. Than we can just repeat that until we can stick-unclip."

One of my friends to another in another tent with his girlfriend in the morning:
"Get off the hoe and let's set some pro."
Me to my wife when she's sketched out on a climb: "Hey, you want some beta?" She: "YEAH!" Me: "Try a little f*cking harder." [stolen from Climbing Magazine a few years ago.]

Kor would say bizarre things, such as, "Get up here, Ament, my anchors are coming out." Of course that made me in a hurry to get to where he was.
Steve Wunsch told me this story. He overheard a climber who was beginning to follow a 5.4 pitch it Eldorado. The climber said,
Ready to climb.
Climbing.
I'm not moving.
Pull like hell.

Before leaving the ground, instead of yelling back and forth the usual belay/climbing commands, especially if there is a good crowd to hear it, I like to yell up to the leader, "Here I come, ready or not!"

Why don't you shut up...you dumb bastard.
Better:
"Shut up when you talk to me."

Don't bounce on the jumars..the anchor's not all that good.
Today is a good day to die.
If you step on my rope, I'm going to punch you in the face;..If I step on the rope;..you punch ME in the face.
This is the last time I'm going climbing desert towers with you.
I just dropped the rope.
No, I'm NOT O K.
Dirt Me.
May a dick grow out of your forehead.
Put down the pipe and get me back on belay.
Wake up.
Is he still alive?
Will you look at my foot and tell me if it's still there?
I'm lost.
This was a really bad idea.
The sheath on the rope just gave way.
It's getting dark and starting to snow.
Go back to the car and get the bong.
You remind me of my favorite chalkbag.
Can we go ahead;...we are faster than you?
My goal;..to get back home safe and alive.

Don't worry about that sharp edge, it probably won't cut the rope.

I climb just to met chicks(guys).
I climb 5.12 sport and 5.7 crack.
Summit or no summit;...no problem.
The drill bit just broke.
If I fall can you take in slack?
May a dick grow out of your forehead.
Can you lead the rest of the climb?
Give ME the rack.
You are not at ALL like your profile on line.......
Are you the belay girl?
This is my first time climbing outdoors.
You PROMISED me that YOU would lead the crux pitch.
Sober up; it's YOUR lead.

When in danger,
When in doubt,
Run in circles,
Scream and shout.
