Oh...in that case....what do think about a harness with a built in depends undergarment. It could save you time on a big wall.

In 2010 it is rumored that Black Diamond is going to offer a "helmet/honey pot". Can be used on either "end".

So that's why the Vulgarians climbed with no pants on! It's like the English bowmen at Agincourt who had to fight pantless because of their dysentery.

Then again, I've been on Shockley's. Maybe they just pooped themselves while trying to pull the 5.5 roof!
Sure it was food poisoning!

This gotta be the funniest thread I've seen here - I almost peed my pants trying not to laugh at work. And I was actually contemplating climbing at Shockley's this weekend!
I was in the Dacks this past weekend and was wise enough to stay behind my friends in the parking lot the entire morning puking in the woods - too much beer and whiskey the night before!

The Mexican place by the beer distributor makes a great tofu burrito.

I guess on the way home is better than on the way there (at least from the perspective of other Gunks climbers).

Some of us have lots of Gunks friends too and thought it was very funny. Sack up, since when did you not like heart stopping excitement in your life?

I'm an EMT and RN, I get enough 'heart stopping excitement' in my life, and it stops being funny after the first person you have to try to keep alive after he craters off a climb.

If they could manage to get their pants off in time why wouldn't they have used a shirt to "contain" the mess? If you're a guy, you can climb shirtless (or rap off shirtless, since I am assuming if you felt that bad you'd probably not finish the climb) and if you're a girl you can climb in your jogbra. It wasn't so hot that day that I'd think people wouldn't have been wearing something. And, sure, you'd have to throw the shirt away, but hell, that's nicer than taking a crap all over the place.
