"Nude climbing has become popular among beginners and experienced adventurers alike.

 

Its followers say it is the closest they can get to nature, while requiring none of the harnesses and ropes of the normal sport.

 

One enthusiast has even taken to photographing participants, compiling the results into a calendar called Stone Nudes 2009 which, he says, is intended to "inspire and celebrate" the human form.

The calendar, which he has been compiling for the past ten years, features black and white shots of perfectly-sculpted women scaling rock faces in the western United States.

 

"This kind of climbing is the sport at its purest, intended to inspire and celebrate the human form," said California-based Dean Fidelman.

 

"Hundreds of people are now participating in a sport that captures the true essence of the climbing sprit."

 

The sport is the latest in a series of nudist adventure pursuits to sweep across America and is tipped to edge its way over to Britain.

 

"It requires no equipment," added Mr Fidelman. "Which means climbers of all abilities can take part."

 

The sport is the latest in a long line to to attract a nudist following.

 

Nude hiking is the most common pursuit, but there is also a World Naked Bike Ride, naked wrestling, naked skating, bowling and yoga, while horticulturalists celebrate a World Naked Gardening Day."

Nude climbing sounds great, so long as it is limited to female climbers like the one posted above. Not so sure I want to see a bunch of harry ass ugly men out there in the buff though. (Not that there is anything wrong with that, I just don't want to see it myself.)
