It seems like the number of ledge-bound fecal underoos sightings has dropped considerably since the wag bag dispensers were installed.
Restop's are $3.50 a bag. Just buy some (not directed at you) and stop pooping all over the place. Also great for camping on USFS and BLM land.

On the bright side, sounds like you got some fantastic climbing in. I loved that route!

Flatirons Poo Poo

The poo bandit struck again, this time just above the tunnel variation on the 2nd flatiron. Too much kale, acai, and other sources of organic fiber seem to make front range climber susceptible to mid climb pooruptions.

And people wonder why I don't like people.

So why can't these people drop trou before the blow? I mean, come on. You should be able to salvage the undies.

Maybe it's the ever-increasing numbers of folks with IBS and other bowel-related disorders. Thanks Monsanto (soon to be a subsidiary of Bayer).

Come pooprared. Light is NOT right if you can't take care of your business.

My climbing partner and I were doing a trash cleanup at the Canal Zone and then the Golden Cliffs a week ago. We found a pair of pooped up underwear stuffed in a crack at the Golden Cliffs and a pair of pooped up underwear under some bushes at the Canal Zone.

This seems super strange. I think it is the work of one "Phantom Shitter". We had a guy in college that went around crapping in the showers all over campus. Most of us thought it was hilarious. Except the people cleaning it up..

Maybe we can do some data research to find out if someone has been to every location and try and hunt this guy out.

And yes, this is definitely the work of a dude.

It was brought to my attention recently that its not that people are directly shitting in their pants, they are using the underwear as TP. I've shit in quite a few places all around the world and never knew this. If you ever find my poop and carry it out I'll buy you a case bro.

Carry on.

maybe this is more of an american problem than a climber's problem. phantom office shitta j

for the record mine go 6-8 deep or get dropped direct into a quart ziplock. the latter makes for awkward walkouts at popoolar spots but gives me the moral highground superiority complex

This might possibly be the guy.

No way is it that guy. Climbers wouldn't be caught dead wearing simple sweat pants. Arcteryx Beta AR pants at $475.00 and a matching Theta AR shell at $625.00 would be more like it. With the brown stain..

Who does this?
WTF!
Come prepared. Would you leave your harness at home? No. Then why in the hell wouldn't you come prepared to pack your shit out with you or at least bury it well away from the crag.
I guess it will keep the faint of heart in the gyms...if we're looking for an upside...

Only $3.50 and it is the compact rolled up version....

My friend's brother Rich called used underwear "dead gear." Looks like a whole spate of this going on.

OK phantom poopers, I am about to impart to you my climbing secrets for unannounced shitting during climbs. This works on trails, mid route, etc. and get this, you get to KEEP those undies. I mean, that pair of briefs has been with you for years. Don't abandon them.

1. Drop pants and undies and poop.
2. Locate smooth or cleanly broken rocks, sticks (without bark please) or snow to wipe
3. Wipe as best as you can using pick and flick technique as opposed to regular wiping
4. Put all clothes back on

See, the undies will do what they were originally designed to do, which is to KEEP YOUR GODDAMN PANTS away from the shit.

Then, after climbing get to a bathroom to clean up more. Do try to get home to change clothes before after climb dates, drinking, etc. Come on.

Can the poopie undies be used as a fixed piece?

But yeah, who does this shit?

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
