GETCHA!!! GETCHA!!!! COMI EST!!! COME ON!!!

gets me psyched!!!!!

I like it when three people are yelling conflicting beta at the same time while you are cruxing. You kind of get this zen fix as you have to wipe the slate clean and come up with your own solution: just what the hell did your dad look like before he was born?

"Alle Alle" is for people who speak Germanic languages......

do all you actually hear people talk when you're climbing? i have to tear my attention away from the rock to even hear my belayer when i'm on hard stuff, you could wreck a train and i wouldn't notice until i said "off belay".

I'm with you flyinglow. I like that kind of focus. it's all about problem solving and its right in front of you.

Don't forget about screaming WHILE you're climbing too - Merrick has been exposed Miguel's theory. And, hell, if it works for them kung-fu dudes, it's probably good fer pebble wrastlers. Plus, it helps to keep the spotters screaming when the climber is screaming. WOOOOOOO!

(On the other hand, one of the most motivating things anyone has ever said to me while climbing was a very soft, quiet, calm "go on, mate, go on" from an English guy belaying me through a tough onsight crux! No screaming, just perfect focused calmness.)

Encouragement form other climbers motivates me like none other. It often is what gets me to that next bolt, or to the top if the case may be. The only times when "comon you got it!!!" is total B.S. is when I am in the middle of a 5.8, or easy section, as well as when my belayer is clearly not paying attention. Otherwise it's the bomb!!!

screaming when cranking through a crux is also AWSOME help and keeps you on!!!

I find it annoying. whether I'm sending the route or not is coming from inside.
