I'm sure everyone's heard of ski naked days some resorts have. Has anyone ever climbed naked?
I don't really need details. Just a simple yes or no will do.

I would certainly recommend that you avoid falling on smear climbs or sandstone. Ouch!

You can get some solid, but painful, no-hands no-feet rests.

I would give it a go with deep water soloing maybe!!!! I mean, what the heck, sounds like fun, let's try it!!!! But no, haven't done it before and probably won't on a normal climb (I fall too much)

Gives new menaing to the name "High Exposure" . . . actually at the gunks there is a pseudo rite of passage of doing a nude ascent, I beleive the route used is Shokley's Ceiling! They used to have a poster-size photo of one of the managers of our gym making his nude ascent prominently displayed in the gym . . . yes the photo was done tastefully.
Personally . . . never done it, not likely to do it in the future . . .

Hell, yeah!
To climb with clothes would be stylistically impure.

I haven't climbed nude.
If I was to embark on such an adventure/misadventure... It would have to envolve me and someone of the opposite sex. There's no way in hell Im gonna have another guy belaying me with such a site, and neither would I want to have to belay another guy while they're nude. *Shudder*

Yes.
Bymyself, in the middle of the aspen forest bouldering. I would highly reccommend this.

The ultimate freedom would be to be able to free solo something out in the middle of nowhere in the buff!
I'll hike naked but since I'm not in the habit of free soloing, I probably wouldn't climb naked. Topless yes but naked, no. Something about the harness that would make the experience feel clothed and unappealing.

Have not myself, but I know of a climb in Arkansas at Sam's throne called Fun Zone that is supposedly done naked.
I would consider it, but would want to do it on a really easy climb. A poorly timed fall could be bad.

Climbing naked... it's a rite of passage. A must do at least once in your climbing career.
Cheers!

Ummm, why would you do something like that?
Because of the tradition...
This topic has been extensively covered a few times, though, I am going to lock it.
