Lead-frogging v.:

Basically, switching leads - leaving the follower racked up and ready to go for the next climb or pitch

" We lead-frogged that whole wall, doing all of the climbs left to right."

Bedayed

Like benighted but in broad daylight. Retreating in fear.

This one was a joint creation of mine and Bruce Cooke at Indian Rock in the early 1970s. I don't think it has caught on but I have been personally bedayed quite a few times. I remember getting to the start of Nerve Wrack Point and thinking that soft ice cream and a swim seemed much better.

... oh.. and I totally guggli-mucchied my very first rappel. I'd only been climbing a couple of months. Tried to do a two-rope rappel with one 60m. Rapped off the ends onto a small ledge 100 feet above the ground and 15 feet above a mid-anchor. Had no clue how to ascend a rope. Partner couldn't hear me. Got freaked. Ended up solo down-climbing to the anchor. Totally thought I was going to die.

Sneaking up behind a backpack style crash pad-carrying boulderer and pulling them over backwards.

Great fun, this.

When bouldering solo, occasionally I don't climb to the top of high problems (has more to do with the dismount/downclimb). Obviously, I don't count it as an ascent, but for sh!ts and giggles I refer to it as a Cesare Maestri.
