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

Good for them on getting this done.

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.

First, there's Nose in a Day, or NIAD.

Then there's Buffing Up the Nose, or BUN.

No Rope, No Chalk...No Clothes - The Purest Form Of Climbing? |

[Click to View YouTube Video]

If the first ascent of a route was a nude free solo would that obligate all subsequent ascents to do likewise?

That last video shows routes on "La Roca dels Arcs" at Vilanova de Meia. Super good climbing on 3-6 pitch routes, with cruxes in the 10-11 range, for the most part.

From an interview with the lady she mentioned that as she stemmed out the great roof, her partner noted that this was the longest amount of time that he had ever stared at a vagina

also in the article- "why did you do it>"

Her answer "C'mon, it's f#$king funny."

This has a lot of the classic irreverence that has been missing from climbing of late.

Was waiting for the obvious response, re why staring at the female partner's privates for so long,


Because it was there...






I still have "piton scars" where a sharp burr on a 1" angle slashed my quad while swinging the gear rack around. Shorts still far better than nada. That was commitment I would never have.
