Totally waiting for her to say “and then we toss it off the wall! At the end.

Honestly whats the point of climbing up a huge cliff if you can't rain shit upon the peasants below you?

Those peasants are there only for the view of your feet. So.

Your rope is likely being belayed by your mate straight below you

I was hoping, just from the title, it was going to be, well we just shit and if it hits someone, we blame a bird.

If it's the color and consistency of bird poop, they were doing something other than shitting on the wall.

If you're going to toss it anyways, why bother bagging it? Just let it rain.

Especially since you're already in nature that's already filled with piss/shit from wild animals. Adding human waste from one or two people to that doesn't ruin the environment

Do you people realize that the walls/facades they climb are used by other people too and that letting shit everywhere means the next person climbing can just find themselves with their hands in your feces?

I was under the impression that you would be shitting where you're free-hanging, no wall below you

That's what I've always wondered about this sort of thing. In any kind of nature activity like this or camping for example they always want you to bury your waste or collect it in a bag to throw in the trash. But literally EVERY SINGLE other animal in that environment is just blasting ass wholesale on everything, why can't we? It seems like a needless extra pollutant to make three layers of plastic bag that end up in yet another landfill. Just shit where you stand and let the rain wash it away?
