Big Wall Climbing: How NOT to Poop on El Capitan

The number one question when climbing El Capitan is how to #2. Pooping in a bag might sound awful, and you’re right if you are unprepared. Have a system for double bagging and have a knife and duct tape to put the double bagged treasure in an empty water jug that you brought up. Squat and hold the bag behind you with both hands and try to go in the morning while you are on a ledge before your adrenaline kicks in for the day. Wet wipes are a 10 out of 10 recommendation! Restop2 and Wag Bags claim to be safe for disposal in any trash container, much like a diaper or doggy bag is. DO NOT PUT YOUR BAGGED TREASURE IN PIT TOILETS (OR ANY TOILET). Please keep our Captain clean and follow all the shitty rules.
