2) We're not here to check em out, we're here to check em off

Be bold, start cold!

Up up up!

Use the features of the rock to make upward progress

Just sort of scurry up it!

Make a bold move

A few overheard comments from threads of yore: 

[Tourist whispering to his buddy as a posse of pad-toting boulderers walks by]: "Those are the climbers who are afraid of heights."

[Trying to take a leak at the base of an ice climb]: "The worst part of ice climbing is trying to thread two inches of penis through three inches of clothing."

[Complaining about a climb with a crux towards the top]: "I totally could have sent that had they just put the anchors a little lower."

“I’d whip on that.”

-When my partner places something that I probably wouldn’t whip on

“Better to have something and not need it…” 

-As I’m racking a #4 for a finger crack

“Looking to punch gear”
