"Looking good, keep going, theres something out to your left/right" - breaks em out of tunnel vision
"I'll buy you a beer if you pull this off" - only when they are pushing their limit
"You shouting beers at the pub if you fall off this piece of shite" - when climbing well below their limit
"I'm watching, if ya grease, i got ya" - evlis legs during the crux or the need for a dynamic belay
Insults and dumb arsed comments really don't help, piss your leader off and can make the situation worse
I'm pretty sure an over inflated ego has killed a few climbers over the years |
