In an apparent effort to lighten my load whilst climbing last weekend, I found myself dry-heaving at a rest stop mid-pitch on perhaps the hardest climb I've been on. Pumped though I was, I was surprised that my bodies reaction was to barf, which has never happened before. Has anyone else had this happen?

Yes.
It has happened to me MANY times.
I used to throw up BEFORE every hockey game I ever played. ;)

I usualy wait till I get to the anchor, or when Im dangling on the end of the rope. The dry heave/wretch is probably your body telling you that you picked a good route.

I was climbing with the doctor one day. He was feeling a little sick......but it was business as usual in between barfs. I was impressed.

I climbed the 20' choss to the first bolt of a project, stemmed back and looked up to recall my beta, puked in the wide choss crack to the right, then redpointed. 9 years ago and still within a letter grade of my hardest ever.

Dingus-
great story, that's what I was looking for. Much respect to all those with limited control over the upchuck reflex while on the steeps!

Dingus' story reminds me of rapping down a rope covered in diarrhea full of corn kernals... But y'all probably don't want to know about that.

I was guiding this guy up Stone mtn, NC in the early 90's
as he wanted to overcome his fear of heights. Well, he
proceeded to throw up for 600'! Throw up, dry heave and hypervenilate while climbing so fast that I couldn't keep
up with him on the belay! I started just throwing coils of
rope around my body! When he arived at the belay I tried to explain the need to calm down, but it really didn't comfort
him as he tried to puke on my climbing shoes!!!
Ah, great times!

In about 1973 Steve Wunsch, Bev Johnson, myself and John Bragg did the first ascent of Siberian Swarm Screw in the Valley. I led and Bev, who wasn't feeling well, went second. Needless to say, Bev barfed all over the route about 20 ft. below my belay and out of sight from the others. I'll leave it to your imagination what Wunsch's comment were when he got to the accident scene.

I did a scary climb in the Black Hills before i "got use to the style" and once i reached the anchor I got super pale and had projectile vomit. Beautiful and superb climb though.

Twice for me.
Once in the early 90's with Tarbusted and Caylor in Vedavoo. Can'te remember the route but it starts up a right facing book corner which turns into a roof then a squeeze chimney. I was climbing 3rd, and already feeling a little green. When I finally got into the squeeze chimney and was way solid, I started dry heaving which turned to barfing. Caylor is about 20 feet above laughing his ass off yelling "Barf on deck, look out below"
The second time was jugging out of the Lost Arrow Spire notch. No barf just some good dry heaves.

Dead of August on the Cap'n. Doing it to humor Lasse who'd come 8000 miles for this enactment of "Lasse in Arabia".
Out of water, started gagging on my tongue and got the dry heaves, luckily. Most unpleasant but didn't leave a trace.
