We will probably not bother about the alphabetic order.
Trisūnas - muscle shake. In the old Baltic stories, Trisūnas used to catch someone by leg and shake the leg. Muscle shake is also known as Elvis leg or Sewing machine.
Strigūnas - when you get stuck in some place on the rock and you don't know how to proceed.
Forearm erection (rankų erekcija) - also called pumped forearms. Most climbers get forearm erection when instead of using small holds or standing on the feet they use big holds which are too high or too far to the side. It is clearly a typical macho style climbing. Why it also happens for female climbers, it is not known. See more information in this page.
Šūdas - the little hold on the wall that is almost impossible to hold. Really small grab.
Niekas (nothing) - is the hold that is smaller than Šūdas and for unexperienced climbers looks like solid rock.
Koala - when you climb on a corner shaped rock and hug it as a koala:
Šikna - a hold which has a smooth round shape, just like an ass.

Adds to dictionary:
Šūdas - the little hold on the wall that is almost impossible to hold. Really small grab.
Nienas - is the hold that is smaller than Šūdas and for unexperienced climbers looks like solid rock.
By the way Trysūnas is also know as Elvio kojytės arba Siuvimo mašina
Thank you Tadas, very valuable contribution! I am adding them to the list.
Niekas - is the hold that is smaller than Šūdas and for unexperienced climbers looks like solid rock.
(sorry for the mistake) > Nienas -> Niekas
Yeah, I was considering it, but I thought that n and k are not the closest mistypes, so it could be an invented word, therefore left it as is.
