Really sort of a random question, other than the standard equipment (Rope, biners, rack, shoes, etc...) What is the most important thing you bring with you on your climbs. Something you could not live without?

Compass (I get lost easily)
Knife
Camera
Tiny first-aid kit
Cliff Bar
Nalgene-o-water
Cell phone.
Local emergency phone numbers would be good, but I always neglect to bring them.

The higher in price the beer gets, the less a climbers beer it becomes
Old E gold can = great climbers beer
free guinness = best climber beer

First-Aid.
Knife.
Hammers can be nice.
WATER.
Snacks.
In reply to: I mean - what is the real climbers beer?
Homebrew. If not available, the darkest, sludgiest stuff you can find. No, it's not guinness. That watered down shit is only for the weak.
Other piss-colored beers are for the even weaker.

Was born and raised in Boyertown. Luckily, I'll be back home in a week for a couple of weddings, and my most important plans for the trip involve Tastycakes, scrapple, Yeungling, and a cheesesteak. If I have time I'll hit Zern's and get a couple of AP cakes and some Lebanon bologna for the road, too.
Great, now I'm hungry

Argh! You're killing me. I'm from Wernersville, outside of Reading, and I haven't been home for a cheesesteak in a couple of years.

Most important thing to bring while climbing would be a Nalgene full of a non-alcoholic liquid (Vitamin Water, Gatorade, H20).
As far as for when you're done climbing, Switchback or Magic Hat beer. Preferably Circus Boy if you go the Magic Hat route. If anyone's up in the NorthEast look for Magic Hat if you're not familiar with it.
