In reply to: After setting an anchor on the second belay of "Shockley's Ceiling" in the Gunks, a most stupendous classic. The second pitch is only 5.5, the crux only a 5.6. Belayer: Um, can you rappel from there? Moi: What!?! Belayer: Yeah, I don't feel like climbing. Moi: Sorry, dude, no can do. C'mon up. It's a beautiful day for climbing.
Lol. Maybe they didn't trust your anchor :shock: J/k

Worst I've actually heard, (drifting up from below, while run out and heart thumping...)
'Dude are you comfy for a sec?'
From a belayer I hadn't climbed with much.
All I could think of was 'Don't call me Dude!'
I like mbonds--
In reply to: After belaying your partner up at a bloody ass uncomfortable stance with sketch anchors, when he passes the belay and leads up another 10 feet: "You do know there's a huge ledge with bomber anchors right here?"
My kind of luck too :)

I was at the gym once and overheard a conversation between one of the guys who worked there and a kid with a birthday group.
Kid: (Obviously doing OK on the 5.8 ) Take!
Ted: Why?
Kid: Because!
Ted: No.
and the kid finished the climb. Pretty funny to watch, but it would sure suck to hear from your partner. :D

Climber: Falling!
Belayer: Ok, I got you (belayer with both hands facing up and wide open and the ATC with the rope hanging of the harness)

Mine's not nearly as funny, but it's true.
Second to last pitch on the "Yellow Spur" in Eldorado Canyon, I'm seconding when my belayer says, "Can you hold on for a second? Our anchor just popped out."
When I got up to him, the only thing holding us was a loose piton and a small metolius cam (with only two of the four camming heads in the crack). They popped out while I was climbing up to him.

James, your on Belay" From the climber on the route next to my leader. My leader instantly yelled "your not". She was at the stance and I didn't even know if she had set her anchors yet. (true story).
Even worse was the partner who said " set a runner on that horn under your feet" We were 500 feet up on East Buttress of Middle Catherdal, The horn was 3" high and about 20" across. I placed a " 10 wired stopper in the crack and rappelled off that. Cheap as I am I'm worth at least $5 or $6 bucks.

the cracklin' and snappin' sound of static electricty a 1000 feet above the treeline...as happened to me this past weekend :shock:
not to mention the feeling of being completely covered with static electricity and scared to death, it wasn't a fun experience.
later,
Sean

I have something else but it's not hearing something.
It's seeing big pieces of fabric from your rope slowly floating to the ground. (true story)

Immediately after completing my first multi pitch trad lead (5.7), pulling rope drag through the bushes at the top I hear, "hey, (munch munch munch) did you just climb that ?" from the extremely overweight couple eating STILL HOT McDonalds burgers at the top of MY climb (evidently they took the upper trail at the Gunks with their fast food picnic and heard me climbing) Had I not cared about hitting my partner with their bloated bodies, I would have tossed them over the edge.
