Alright, recently, a forum has been created for songs before climbing and one for preclimb meals. I just wanna know, what kinda funky rituals do you guys have to get yourself going before a climb? Everyone has a certain thing they do before almost any activity to get in the mood... Let's hear yours.

I searched for it before I posted, but came up with a message saying searching was disabled. I then posted it, because I don't have anywhere near the ambition necessary to search through 67 pages of forums.

Cold, plain macaroni from a plastic baggy.
'Tis yummy, and lots of carbs.
And loud music the night before.

Before each and every climb, I visualise myself climbing the hardest route I possibly can. Great images of me, pushing my mental as well as physical limits. Awesome.

Smile at the rock (or mountain or icefall). The mountain gods are watching you, and they know when you are being an egotistical or smelly ass. They will eventually flatten you if you don't have the proper happy face and attitude.
Then you stretch (preferably by doing some really weird yoga poses that leave other people scratching their heads and wondering when they let you outta the farm), double check your gear, and start pulling.

I always get dressed on the left side first, left shoe first, left glove first, gear on the left side first! Yeah IT'S CRAZY, huh? Not just in climbing, Everything, everyday, I have always done it, as long as I can remember... So maybe it isn't really a "climbing ritual", and I've shared way too much , Oh well, you asked so I answered.

The only ritual I have is for cracks climbing. I like to make some nice tape gloves.
