Chepe Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 Left a frozen loaf on a route?? Cmon I know you have! It is inevitable as you climb more and more. I left one on Dragontail Peak this year. Just below the summit and south a bit. Real hefty greaser style. Where did you leave yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 7th belay of Standing Wave as a present for the 2nd ascencionists. Also on the Wedgemount-Weart divide as a party treat for the snafflehounds. Full of undigested sugar and salt. they should love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juneriver Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 All over the Ptarmagin Traverse... it actually became a bit of sport... we would try to fill the snafflehound holes before they would attack at night. Wasn't really on a technical route... but it was most fun I had taken a dump in the Mtns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfort Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 Coming down the south gully on Guye peak two years ago, I was suddenly hit with severe diarhea. I left quite a mess in the gully. On a climb of the SE ridge of Fisher Peak (near Rainy Pass) last summer, all four of us left loaves on the exposed ridge. Several years ago in the 'Gunks, we were climbing a popular 5.4'ish route above the carriage road. When we got to the first ledge belay, it smelled like someone had left something - and sure it enough, there it was. Then, I needed to pee really bad. I wasn't too careful about where I went, and it dripped down the crack you climb on the first pitch. Then, one of my friends, who had the flu, suddenly decided she had to vomit - yup, on the same ledge. It was a bad day to follow us on that climb.

Lambone Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 I've told this story before, but I love it so I'll tell it again... My bro and I were climbing the Tripple Direct on El Cap. I just finished a traversing pitch over to Camp 4 about midway up the route. The pitch traversed alot so I radioed down to my bro to belay the bags out slowly. Since he is such a tough guy, he figured that he could hold on to the 7mm cord with his gloved hands to lower them out. Well... our 150lb bag got the best of him. It flew across the rock and slammed into a big dihedral. I heard a loud POP and saw a white thing go flying away from the bag. At first I thought, what the fuck was that! Then I saw the first one fly out, then the second, and then the third, fourth, fifth, and so on... Poor parties on the Nose probably didn't even know what hit 'um. Till they smelled the chilly I had eaten three days earlier. Sorry guys, it wasn't my fault... really. Well on second thought, I guess I should have used more glue!

Ibex Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 My coup de grace was on Devils Tower. My buddy and I climbed it on a remarkably deserted day (only 4 climbers on the *entire* tower) in May 2000. Anyway, we get to the last pitch (4th class to the summit) and I felt the dreaded: "rumblerumblerumblerumble...." So when I got on top, of this very visible national monument and sacred Native American landmark, the only thing I could think to do was roll back the biggest rock I could move and do the deed. Then came the quandry of TP.... Needless to say, I rapped down the route with a newly converted tank-top. ------------------ Put a high price on your own head, or rest assured, no one else will.
