I just prefer it to be quiet. Just my personality. And it explains why I don't like to go to football games and other big gatherings.

I usually like both-- motivational cheering and calm reassurance. I can think of a number of instances where I was ready to let the pump take over and pull me off the route, but encouragement from people on the ground made me think, "What the hell, why not try and see what happens?", and most often I got a lot farther than I thought I was going to.

As for beta, I usually prefer to climb without, but there have been times when it's been the equivalent of cheering and reassurance-- having someone tell me the good holds are coming up - whether it's true or not - does a lot to keep me going.

for me it is completely situational. slab climbing rarely if ever needs anything other than a calm "i am with you" or "relax". for hard steep cruxes when I am powering down some shouting definately is encouraging.

I also don't really hear what people are saying when I am climbing things that are hard for me. i am in the zone, there is noise but I don't really notice it. the harder the climb, the less i hear. I am aware that people are rooting for me though and that is nice!

After bouldering with Dosage three in the background, I have decided we need to be even louder and crazier then we have been. Those guys crush, and I bet we would climb way harder if we learned some of those euro words and phrases to scream at the right time.

People shout beta to me all the time, sometimes it helps, sometimes I do something different out of spite, sometimes it's completely off base for the way I climb. My solution is selective hearing and I didn't think it was such a magic trick.

Maybe all the serious relationships I've had have given me some amazing skills but it really ain't that hard to ignore people.
Yes...selective hearing is the key. To relationships and climbing....

man dosage three makes me flip out like a ninja on crack after eating 20 pixie sticks. and it proves unconditionally that we need more yelling. lots more....and we need to try harder. that movie rocks (except for the weird ron kauk new age lameness)

mad props to rhino for showing me the latest dose

HOLLLAHHH!!!

merrick, Hell yeah. Vol. III is some of the best climbing porn ever made. The Sharma stuff in AR is crazy, same with the Tim Kemple soloing 5.13 crack in Ibex, and the Swiss Gniess is Gniess for sure.
