climbing friend,

may you share your strategies most best for reducing unwanted harness-caused naughty crotch bulge?

do you wear the shorts or lightweight breathable pants and expose your belayer to your naughty bulging package as you lower, with garments drawn tight over crotch?

do you wear the jeans no matter how hot it is in order to utilize the stiffer jean material to dampen your naughty-harness-crotch-bulge effect?

is this also a problem for climber of female type?

proper utilization of the Metolius Wicking Belt Sander will keep that in check.

Just embrace it!
I think it's something most just accept as unavoidable. As far as I can tell women pay no mind to our bulge. Most of the girls I climb with wear tights so no bulge for them. I'm sure if they wore baggier pants they would have a similar effect.

About 10 years ago at rnj south saw a father and son, both sporting 2 pairs of shorts. The outside pair had a slit to tie in and belay through. He probably wears the same shorts making love.

Don't mean to hijack your thread Aleks, but can anyone share any strategies for *increasing* the harness-induced crotch bulge? Asking for a friend.

I don't have the need, but a friend had excellent results with sticking a pair of chalk socks filled with "Unicorn Dust". He insisted that only the Unicorn Dust makes multiple red points possible.

When you change into your climbing shoes, after taking your socks off, instead of setting them aside, stuff them into your shorts.

To avoid harness-caused crotch bulge - avoid harness altogether.

If the bulge lasts for more than 4 hrs, call a doctor ( single pitch only) -

Aleks.... you might wish to sport a "cod piece"....popular a few centuries back.

I suggest the prolonged application of ice. Shrinkage, ya know.

Aleks, have you ever heard that King Missle song Detachable Penis?

Nope. We do not look, never ever. Just ignore that stifled laughter and the tears running down our face. Means nothing.

Carry on.

It's a classic song, even though it makes me feel like less of a man...

Haha! Seriously laughed for a good minute after this mental picture.

That could very well be a religious thing. I went out with a group of some unknown-to-me fundamental/orthodox sect, and the women all had dresses over the harnesses. Black biker shorts underneath.
