This is exactly why I love climbing. Your financial worries, parental issues, politics at work all fade away. You become completely absorbed in the moment. Can I see the move? Will I fly or die? Puts a lot in perspective.

A funny/ not so funny thread.

No big drama but I found it funny:
Out climbing recently and my (male) partner is starting into a runout, sloppy, sand stone, face, crux...

He looked back down at me and said:
"Bear with me here...




I might start to getting emotional!"

Would you rather...

Have a partner who cries? or a partner who really loses their crap and gets really angry?

I am guilty of both: Anger transforming into defeated tears. Anyone looking for a partner this weekend? :P

Reed's Direct and Lunatic Fringe same day.
Then it was my turn when we broke up.
The Harding Slot has had me near tears every time.

My wife has cried on every multi pitch route we've ever done. It's part of the deal.

I once spent 30 minutes whimpering under the Traitor Horn at Suicide on a cold windy day. My belayer was pissed as he was freezing and wanted to get moving! At 5.8 it was well below my grade. I just couldn't find a way past the horn.

When I finally found the jug around the horn it was easy peasy. I felt pretty stupid. My partner hardly talked to me the rest of the day.

Amazing how those experiences stick with you.

Snake Dike walk off. She wanted a belay. There are obviously no anchors and no pro so the belay was out. Talking nice and coaxing got her through.
I had a male partner break down on Sandy Glacier Headwall. We were in a white out and off route in the dark. I don't blame him.
I cried a couple of times mostly after topping out big wall solo. Either relief or happiness, no big deal.

I wanted to cry when my partner dropped the bag with my approach shoes in it on Half Dome. That was a painful walk-off!

I cried on the lead on Solid Gold, JT. Couldn't commit to that last crux move, 20 ft. out...couldn't down climb. Finally made the move, swore I would NEVER lead again.
Burst into sudden, spontaneous tears of relief after my first and only ascent of the Naked Edge. I led the first pitch, and then it went downhill from there, especially as dark clouds loomed with an imminent thunder storm.
Probably cried more, but these stand out. Never saw Jack cry climbing...but lots during movies, and when our various dogs passed. When we would get drunk and sloppy and tell each other how much we loved each other..........
Fun thread, by the way!

Juan, I know girls, including one of my daughters, that could make you cry. So what's your point?

Roger, thanks for the heads up. You're a good heart. Apparently, I have just been diagnosed with foot in mouth disease!

I have been known to cry, moan, and whimper when climbing. When it does happen, I usually am in a place where I can't go up, can't go down, and can't hang on much longer and the last piece at least seems so very far away.....

Two routes that make me cry

From inside the car to outside on the way to the rock...

The top of an easy gunks climb I got challenged to lead.

But that was nothing compared to having an allergy attack while leading. It's way harder to watch your footwork when your face is exploding.

I don't think I've every made a girl cry other than myself...maybe they hold it in until no one else is around? Where as with the guys, I KNOW they cry when no one else is around...

hee hee
