"TRonsight" (pronounced Tron-site)

I much prefer the Trash (top rope flash)

"Yeah bro that 5.9d is probably only 5.9b, I casually trashed it"

Bronsite

Barefoot tr-onsite

“¡Ándale!”

“Don’t backstep the rope!”

When did we climb together?

I wish it was not a true story, LOL. It was so much worse than you can imagine. If I could wave a wand and get rid of all the stupid "quad anchor is best anchor" and "new advanced multi-pitch tactics" vids on IG, I totally would. Rope work shouldn't be the hard part of climbing IMHO.

Also:

"I climb 5.12 in the gym"

Probably going to get some hate for this one:

"I don't need a stick clip. It ruins the style."

nah this is just when LeBron onsights a route

I've been proven wrong and climbed with people who know what they're doing despite saying this but hearing, "I've never taken a fall on gear" from a trad climber raises alarms for me

I think I'm going to upset some folks with this one

"is it cool to ask random people for a belay?"

"I've been trying to contact you about your car's extended warranty"

"I don't care where we climb"

"I lead 5.xxx but I'll follow anything"

Aaron Kwrote:

"I lead 5.xxx but I'll follow anything"

And for some reason it's always 5.7 and it becomes clear that it's gym 5.7 

On a similar note - "Looking for a partner to climb ____. I don't have gear but I give a good belay and always bring snacks"

Thanks for clearing that up.  I thought it was onsighting with your bros.

"Which one of us is carrying the rope?"

Much worse:

"I thought you brought the rope"---after a multi-hour drive to the crag.

“I thought you brought the rope”—-after disrobing in my sex dungeon

Forgotten ropes, racks, harnesses, and shoes are the spice of life. I’m a serial chalk bag forgetter myself.

“Subaruable”

Earlier this week I overheard a climber refer to her PAS as her “in-direct”. Gave me a chuckle.
