RRO, after huffing, puffing and grunting his way up an evil crack (which, to protect the innocent, shall remain un-named) which was too wide for decent foot/hand jams and too small to get your knee or any other decent body part into, and had no facial features to work with:
He gets up the thing, is in a good rest position about 6 feet and an easy ledge from the top. Being the supportive partner that I am, I yell up:
"Nice lead, Matt!"
From above, I hear:
" (pant, pant, huff....) It ain't over yet, (huff, pant, groan..... ) I've still got to get to the belay ledge without puking down on you."
Choosing discretion over valor, I moved my belay stance off to one side about 15 feet......
