Poop bags are now available at rock climbing sites in Squamish and nope, they're not for your pets

The Waste Alleviating Gel (WAG) bag program has been set up by the Squamish Access Society (SAS) in partnership with B.C. Parks, and sponsored by businesses in the climbing industry.

"There's been an explosion in the usage of our backcountry areas in southwest B.C. and the Sea-to-Sky corridor, and rock climbing is very much a part of that," said Ben Webster, SAS chair. "Increasingly we are finding that there are issues with human waste, particularly in our more remote crags."

[Webster] said five stations have already been set up at crags, with four more expected to be ready in the next two weeks, and the stations have already required restocking — something that was expected, as people grab a WAG bag to throw in their pack for whenever it's required.

Why is it the more remote crags? Ppl hold it for pooping out there after the hike or what?

My bowels seem to always hang on until I'm at the base of a climb, and I can't be the only one

Just gotta chug a coffee and do some jumping jacks at the pit tolite my man! 

They're actually called wag bags. . . 

Blame the editors at CBC for catering to non-climbers, and then and only then can you blame me for copying the article title verbatim when I made this thread.

Wag bag pro-tip: Grab a rock (ping pong ball size) and throw it in the bag before you start your business. Its no fun if a gust of wind pushes the bag and its contents back against your rear.....
