This move would be easy, if I was just a little more flexible than a pregnant cow!
To somebody who was working hard at it, but just not making much progress:
You should probably take a couple weeks off....
then quit.

After a particularly scary run for me on Sweet Jesus, my buddy yells:
"Now you've found a friend in Jesus."
Learn your Chicken Wing or meet the arm sling.
Chicken Skinner, yours is the best.

Two of my favroite (names, not routes) at Josh:
It's Easy to be Brave from a Distance
It's Easy to be Distant when You're Brave
Sayings...
My partner John would always say, just before hopping on a necky lead or the crux of a route, "Well, there's no time like the present." We don't climb together so much anymore, but I've taken up the habit of saying this, and the more I think about it, the more apropos it is...

"On Belay?"
"Belay On."
"I'm climbing then - or what passes for it..."
You climb like a girl! - compliment
You climb like a p#ssy! - not a compliment
Dude, you're totally fine. I got up it so you should hike this choss pile! It does get a little grim in that one place, but just bear down a little and don't hang out. - incomprehensible to anyone but climbers.
Sometimes you have to run it out, 'cause there's just no damn gear. And that's when you either hang your head and say let's go down, or you grab the rack and say f#ck it - i can do this.
Hey! That's not chalk - that's pigeon shit!
I'm "pretty sure" that was the crux. It's all easy from here.
I'm the man, you're the hand.
Nice knot, double backed,Locked and Loaded!
Don't worry. This rope is thoroughly tested. It's held hundreds of big falls. So you're probably okay.
Reimer's Rock Ranch Special:
Oh, don't forget to put the #2 cam in that big hueco midway up. No, not for pro. You don't even clip the rope to it. But if you don't, the squirrel will come out of it and chew on your rope. Seriously. You didn't bring it!?! I'd climb fast, then.
Uh, I didn't save much gear for the anchor, but its fine. Just don't fall, okay?

All you need is a rack, a rope, and a whole lot of dope.
Smoke pot, check your knot.
Smoke crack, sell your rack.

Lambone - This can also be used in the past tense "He was huckin'a mo!!"
Or another version of past tense "I had to huck some serious mo to get to the next jug!"
None of this should be confused with "Hackin'tate" which is what some men do when they are alone in the woods for months.
"Feedin' the geese" is another version of this, though.

these are some quotes I bit from random people I know - mostly my friend anthony.
"tighten up those cheeks and suck in those abs"
"put you nuts in a bag and sack up"
"backstep the sexiness" (not sure what this means, but I stole it from some guy in Bishop)
"dont cut! dont cut! dont cut! I'll pay you"
"its all business to 25 feet then its V-0 from there"
"that problem isnt magically going to do itself"
"thats not a V-(insert any random number here) -this phrase is often uttered by many boulderers
"its do-able" (usually followed by some act of extreme stupidity for the sake of entertainment)
and my personal favorite.....
"TEAM SEND!" this is when someone sends something you cant, but you get the glory too just because you were lucky enough to be there.

Sorry to keep postin' like this, but I keep thinking of funny things because I've climbed w/ so many funny people.
This one (most hilarious ) guy I use to climb with would always rack up at the base singing:
TOP ROPE HERO
"That one big cam felt good in his hands;
Didn't take long to understand
Just one big cam,
Sunk way down low
Was a oneway ticket, only one way to go.
So he started climbing,
He's never gonna stop,
Gonna keep on climbin'
Some day he's gonna make it to the top.
Cuz he's a Top Rope hero"
-Foreigner
As you can imagine, the lyrics have endless possibilities depending on the climb!

Less talk, More chalk!
Rule #1 - Never let go of your brake hand. Rule #2 - if the climber above you ejects any bodily fluids, disregard rule #1
