My favorite beta: "Don't be a pussy."
I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Climber: "Where do I go from here?"
Sarcasm is a tool the weak use to avoid confrontation. People with any balls just outright lie.

When there's a whiny ass at the gym wanting to come down, I yell up to them "the only way down is up!"

Sometimes, "up" is not always the way to go. I've been doing more downclimbing than 'up-climbing' (is there such a word?) now that I'm trying to get back into leading. It's the only way for me to finish a route without any falls or takes.

Of course, there's always the occasional route that you just have to go for, if you want a redpoint.
In Jared's case, if he's about to flash the crux on something I fell on, I do the old trick of "That foot's not on!". Works all the time!

And you give them penalty slack, right?
