Weird stuff thrown off a cliff while you were on it

I was belaying my partner on a single pitch in Thailand when I saw a blur and heard a crash in the vegetation nearby. Looked over and there was this 12-14 inch turtle. Apparently they can climb trees and this one either fell or simple bailed. 

Monkeys throw stuff and then hide, I've been hit before.

In Moab a raven on the wall high above us was picking up stones in his beak and dropping them towards us. When the Rocks were consistently missing us he started lobbing them to the side until he got the trajectory right. We bailed when he started trying to break a rather large piece off a flake. 

A pineapple can full of piss flew by my head on my first aid climb.

That's crazy!

Must've thought it couldn't trust you

Nesting only counts with birds of prey right?

So, years ago my friends and I were climbing at Crow Hill in MA.  The local Appalachian Mt. Club group was there with the summer learn-to-climb class.  We were standing around at the bottom of the crag, when a helmet comes hurtling down from above.  We laughed about how it would be ironic to get nailed by a helmet. Someone nearby piped up and said that they had been hit with a falling yoghurt earlier in the day, and we all thought that would be really gross-especially before you found out what it actually was. One of my friends leaned over and whispered to me that she had been the one who dropped it. We did not mention that to anyone else.

The Riverside Quarry guidebook I think had a story of an entire speadboat being thrown off the top. There's still some remains around the rightside of the crag.

West Rock Ridge in CT had a Uhaul truck pushed off the edge of a 200'er. Unfortunately I wasn't there.

to the OP it could also be that the poacher shot a doe without a doe tag or a spikehorn too small  to be legal... 

The usual. 

Five base jumpers during our trip up Mescalito. A body makes a lot of noise falling through space.

Urn full of human remains at Palisade Head. Those of you familiar with the crag know about the supposed no chalk ethic. It turns out Grampa's ashes make a good substitute.

55 gallon drum garbage can at Taylors Falls Minnesota Overlook. A couple of us hightailed it up top for confrontation. Turned out to be bikers. Real bikers. Like Hells Angels bikers. You know, dirty, long hair, longneck swilling 1 %'ers. Not suburban dad, new bike, new leathers, Diet Coke sipping wanna be bikers. We just walked past like nothin' happened.

And of course rocks. Your not a real climber till you've dodged a few rocks.

Lit Cig thrown off the top and hit me on my helmet. I just started cursing at whoever was up there. 

Diet pepsi, spinning and spraying from the top of Cathedral ledge.

The "no chalk ethic" hasn't been a thing in 25 years, there were a few people that tried to force it on others, but it never really caught on.

The guide book has that big essay about it but then every pic of someone climbing there has a chalk bag lol

I’ve seen a dead deer at Pilot Mountain that clearly died from a fall. It happens. 

Not uncommon to see then at Stone as well, at the base of frozen water streaks/grooves. Always figured they end up slipping on the ice trying to take a drink, but who knows.

the "flying moose arete" at north baldcaps namesake comes from one that took the big ride

Montoya,  we were on  Recombeast when a 40oz Pepsi went by.  Sometime in the early 2000s. 

Back in the middle of the summer in 2000 dogs chased a deer off of Endless Wall at the NRG. You couldn't get within a quarter of a mile of that thing because the stench was so bad....

BASE jumping is not advised for moose until they shed their antlers.
