highclimb Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 Hand down the toilet in Boston Basin! what do you guys think?! Aidan Quote
Charlie Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 i agree, i think that would make a great photo: someone sitting on that toilet, jberg in the backround, just as the sun is setting! Quote
pope Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 I prefer to simply release into my one-piece Gore-tex Everest suit. When you fight so hard to maintain body heat, why let that warmth escape? This is not an original idea..it's an old scuba trick. Quote
chris_w Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 First choice is Boston Basin (lower Camp). My second is the camp above spider meadows. A great view of the valley. No other toilets stick in my memory (good or bad). Quote
EddieE Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 Don't forget that toilet that has the view of Mt. Stuart. Quote
Lambone Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 Hanging belay on Zodiac, El Cap. The haul bags with the pipebomb weren't up yet, so I had to just clip the ziploc to the anchor+ let my buddies deal with it while I lead the next pitch. Ahhh, I can still hear the screams today... Opps- you said the Cascades- oh well... Quote
David_Parker Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 The "outhouse" at the Wa Pass overlook is pretty impressive. Outside the Cascades, the most amazing outhouse I've been to was at the Vignettes Hut on the Haute Route in Switzerland. It is perched on the edge of a precipice, but you don't realize it's overhanging until you lift the seat. Looking through the hole, it's about 1500 ft of pure airtime! It will be a long time before that one piles up! Quote
Dru Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 Pope, I thought you preferred to "release" in your sleeping bag or have you started using your fancy dancy Gore tex fag bag* (one piece suit) as well?? * This term invented by Mike Buda to describe yuppies decked out in their brand new MEC one-piecers heli-skiing at Whistler.

willstrickland Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 OK, not the Cascades but a classic nonetheless, the saddle privy between the Grand and Middle Teton. Quote
DPS Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 Will, The toilet at the lower saddle was one I mentioned to Aidan as well. I vote for the Boulder Camp Privi in the Bugaboos. Quote
hikerwa Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 The toilet overlooking Schrieber meadows on the approach to the RailRoad Grade. Great view. No privacy, but better that having the squirts on a four person rope....;-) sean Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 I once used a Somali's head for a toilet ! I called it the squat and splot [This message has been edited by Cpt.Caveman (edited 10-15-2001).] Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 Hey Backcountry, Did Halling head out to the Afghan land to kick some butt or what? Quote
TimL Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 I agree with DPS. The bathroom at boulder camp in the Bugs had the best view. [This message has been edited by TimL (edited 10-15-2001).] Quote
Backcountry Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 He's still CONUS saw him Friday nite...got a new shiney truck he was showing off...showed up at my house after I had gone to bed, heard door bell ring, none of friends ever use it...stuck my "friend" in my pants top and went to see who was at the door...saw a strange truck in the driveway...put one in the pipe...answered the door...It was Halling...

Crackfiendcarla Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 Sahale Arm has a lovely commode, as does the Heliotrope Trail on Baker. Quote

Dru Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 I wonder about the outhouseless toilets in the Enchantments. Aren't they a bitch to use when it is raining/snowing?? Almost as bad as squatting in the bushes except with a wet wooden seat?? And with no privacy from the "pee wino" goats??? Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 Just think of the wino goats as your pets. Much better than Snafflehounds! [This message has been edited by Cpt.Caveman (edited 10-15-2001).] Quote
Dru Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 If you got Snafflehounds surely you can have Snufflegoats, like snuffleupagus?? Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 Or perhaps Kangorillahippopopasnafflegaots! Quote
highclimb Posted October 16, 2001 Author Posted October 16, 2001 well the toilets in the enchanments are horrible. they smell, bugs breed there. i swear i got more bug bites on my ass in a matter of minutes that i had in the entire trip. Aidan Quote
imorris Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 I would say the outhouse at the Grassi hut in B.C. Rockies is pretty darn nice (the view that is). -Iain Quote

I'll second that...coiling a cobra while the sun sets over the Sawtooths in Idaho and people are sitting on the boulder over your left shoulder enjoying the same view is hard to beat. Quote
