I talked to the team in El Cap Meadows on Sunday (clothed).

Good for them on getting this done.

Yes Nick, as you and I know so well (a particular dome in Capitol Reef comes to mind....Navajo Beach!)

I'm sure the sunscreen on all the wee tender bits was more than adequate.
What other issues were there? Rack rash? Testicle/GRI GRI conflict?

A couple weeks ago I witnessed a couple folks attempting an all-nude route mid-afternoon in El Cap Meadow. Looked like C1.

Actually it looked like a tub of goo humping the ground but it was later revealed there was a chick underneath it all, hidden in the grass.

Americans are so uptight about nudity.

Fer sure.

Almost every EastSide foray I'd run into this and really can't figure it out but oh well, all the more reason sit up high on the edge.

Word around the campfire, they could have gone sub-9 hours if they hadn't clucked at every ledge.

Just sayin.

Man, I don't even like climbing in shorts. It that getup, I'd be worried about cams swinging into my nubblies or the tie-in knot catching my pubes.

I'd be worried about an inadvertent nut placement.
