I've been pretty mellow and good-spirited on most of my climbs, even during uncomfortable/uncertain situations. Maybe that just means I haven't been that uncomfortable yet.
I'm not given to cussing, but I do recall the time I led all pitches on Crest Jewel, more or less as my first slab climb. I was scared just about the whole way, especially after three 25-foot sliders at the same spot on the first linked pitch, and knowing the crux rating was higher on the route. After every pitch where I felt like I was scared to death and barely surviving, up comes my partner trotting up the pitch on second and whistling dixie, saying how easy it is. But he wouldn't lead a thing. We have always climbed at about the same level.
About halfway through the day, with venom, I called him an A$$H0LE to his face.
Well, that's about it for me. I assume that primal screams for S-L-A-CK ! ! ! don't really count.

well here's a dual hissy fit, me and strassman are on the salathe and he draws the dreaded (by me )hollow flake pitch. He starts clawing his way up the thing and shortly the hissying begins, he's screaming and struggling and about 40 or so feet into it he decides to lie-back the edge, this is where I start to hissy. I'm yelling "get the f@@#k back in the crack " as he is slipping and grappling on the lie back. I'm thinking he's going to fly off the thing and pile right on top of me! MURRY get back in the crack you idiot!!!! Finally he makes back into the crack but he is in a pretty good panic by now. Then he yells and begins to laugh out of control " a rope,a rope " he reaches in the crack and pulls out a 9mm rope and clips it, fully weighting the thing takes a breather to re-group. Still gidy he fires up the rest of the pitch no problem. I jug up to hollow flake ledge, murry is re- racking, so I check out "the rope" and realize it's only looped through the anchor someone got it stuck while retreating and must have cut it. I yell to murry "check it out" and gently pull the rope free, we both look at each other and say OOOHHH MAAAANNNN!!!!

Not quite a hissy fit, but there was that one time I kind of tweaked on Hoots at the end of the day cuz he hauled the bags into the only good spot on the ledge and made us hang in space to deal with setting the ghetto up.
Anyhow, it's been nine years for y'all to come up with some good stories so I'm bumping this one!

On the 8th ascent of the Nose in 1967, it was raining and it continued to rain for most of the climb. We, Ken Boche and I, began the ascent in the Winter of 1967 (March 20) and finished in the Spring of 1967 (March 26). Ordinarily, the impending weather would have postponed our plans, but since I was limited by the open window of Spring break, we pressed on. We were not enjoying the the cascading runnels of ice cold water that entered our sleeves and exited into our Krohoffers. We were not a happy couple.
Now, I know Ken may not remember this and may deny it, but it is indelibly etched in my cranium. Here's the scenario.
While Ken was leading up to the Great Roof, I made some kind of nasty remark. Not sure what I said. Probably had some thing to do with climbing speed. At this point in my extended lifetime, I cannot recall what I said, but Ken took offense. His retort, "You can't talk to me that way, I have a college degree"!
Now that's a hissy fit.
Remember that BooDawg?

Well hell where is Jungle? Or Prone, Constant, Shute, or Hurley? Or the f*#king medical kit???!!!! ;-).
I didn't read the whole post but F&%k my partner who snarled the haul line in a way that I had to rebuild the whole anchor from a hanging belay 1000' off the deck while he watched and was useless despite his own "credentials"
We are still friends...
