Cold as Hell
Lightweight expedition
Organized chaos (my backpack after a few days)
Calm winds
Bad day on the trail
Lets pair up in rope teams of three ( I actually heard this!)
Indoor rockclimbing (ever seen an indoor climbing wall made of real rock?)
No rope needed - its an easy Class 5 scramble

Going outta town tomorrow, but here's a classic (though not about hiking):
The great Yogi Berra:
Baseball is 90% mental, the other half is physical.
I love that, because half of what I say makes just about that much sense. Good thing 90% of what I say is actually accurate...! Can somebody do the math on that for me?

Here's a few more hiking or camping related ones:
"simple 6 hour canyoneering trip" (they tend to take 5 or more repels and 10 hours longer than anticapted),
"too much gear for a short trip" (in my experience, that's 2 oxymorons),
"quick family/group picture".

Yup. The first 72 takes should suffice, but someone has always got their eyes closed...

A guide once told me, "We are not lost, we just don't know where we are."

Love that one
A related quote -- I'm not lost, it's just that nobody else knows where I am
