So it's common practice to inadvertently fart while pulling a move. Usually louder than normal and unfortunately closer to the ground (or cute belayer) than you'd prefer.
I know one of you depraved depravers has gone a step further and slipped a deuce. Hands up, no-ones judging you here.
If you've let one slide while climbing, stand and be counted.
This is a climbing topic, it should not be moved. If anything, it should be made sticky.

I think it's already sticky.
Only air for me, but I've done enough polluting over time to be ridiculed.

My little blonde female climbing friend was just commenting on my gaseous tendencies last week.
Never had a solid waste management problem in that department though.....

This is a fairly normal occurrence for me. It generally happens at the crux of the climb all though grade is irrelevant (meaning that it will happen on the crux of a 5.9, but not on the 5.9 section of a 5.12, it will just hold off until the hard part). I figure it is just my body trying to propel itself up through the hard part.

I personally have not, but my partner made a Number-2 Boom-Boom once while executing a difficult climbing move. Luckily, it was on a traversing pitch ...

Is this why I keep finding tighty-whities abandoned in secluded pee spots?
And what is up with TP on belay ledges that are only 1 pitch off the ground? This isn't big wall climbing! And even it if were, those folks carry poop tubes!
I saw so much TP in Red Rocks. It was pretty nasty!

A friend was teaching someone to belay a few weeks ago and asked if I'd mind letting her belay me while he watched. Well he forgot to watch, I fell, she forgot to brake for what seemed like forever (fell about 12-15 feet and came very near the ground). She finally caught me, and I found a place to stand, and change my underroos. I didn't really poop myself, but that was probably the closest I ever came to doing so while climbing.

So not exactly what you are looking for, but I have two funny stories around the subject.
First, I was in the gym working a boulder problem in a cave. The sit start was under the overhang and in the corner. Basically, left hand and foot on the left side of the corner and right hand and foot on the right side of the corner. And this was a very crimpy start, requiring a lot of foot pressure and core strength to just get my ass off the ground. It was the early afternoon, the gym was just starting to fill up, with lots of people putting their shoes on and watching us boulderers boulder. I could swear it got quieter right before I started. I had come real close to finishing the last couple tries, with pretty dramatic fails, and lots of people were rooting me on and watching. So I chalk up, sit down, and just stare at the start. Put my feet up. Grab the start holds with my hands. Pull. FART!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful. Pure, simple, delightful beauty. Took full blame, I did.
The second was more of a chronic issue I had during college. Keep in mind this would happen almost without fail every time we went to the local cliff. I went to Colby College, in Maine, which is a residential college. Lived in dorms all 4 year. Typical climbing day: get up, throw rope, draws, harness, etc in bag, wander down to dining hall. Grab breakfast, cup(s) of coffee, and make lunch. Make 1 hr drive to cliff. Hike the short ~20 minute approach, put on harness, flake rope, "rack" draws. Turn to partner. "Dude, I gotta shit. I gotta shit now." Yank off harness. Run into woods. Dig quick hole. Shit. Come back. Every. Freaking. Time. I am an extremely regular morning pooper, with or without breakfast and with or without coffee. Add BOTH and I guar-an-tee I'm gonna go. But for some reason, when going climbing, I just didn't factor in enough time to remember to go before I got in the car. Usually I would "get the urge" on the drive, it would subside by the time we parked the car. Then I would get it again as we started racking up, but wouldn't really admit it would have to happen till we were all set. Every. Freaking. Time.

i don't often fart while climbing, but for the past year or so i've been doing a lot of stretching at home in the evenings. absolutely guaranteed this will result in the expulsion or a couple of cracking farts.
my wife won't take me to her yoga class :(

I don't fart while climbing because I don't climb hard enough.

I just knew this would be an angry thread.
I have farted on many a belayer, spotter, passerby, unleashed child and crag dog. I'm one of the gassiest people I've ever met. Terrence and Philip gassy. I have those irritable bowels.

No "gas" story could touch yours about the chili before the plane trip, Dingus. Now that there was funny.

That is some funny shit there Dingus! I don't know if many folks are making it through those big blocks of text, but those last two posts had me laughing my ass off and getting weird looks from people here at work. Good stuff.
