I'm sure many of you have seen some sick/disgusting/funny stuff while on a wall,
but I thought I'd share one that I witnessed on Skull Queen.
On the morning after the second bivy, Shawn's water broke,
and soon he would be giving birth to a baby brown coiler.
He got out his sh#t sack and maneuvered himself into the birthing position next to Mike's ledge.
In a matter of minutes Shawn was at full dilation and before you could say "crap in a sack",
the rustling of the paper bag signaled the birth of a baby hoopsnake.
(I think I heard 2 plops, so it might have been twins!)
The pride and joy of fatherhood was shortlived for Shawn however.
As Shawn was wrapping the newborn and preparing to transport the
little guy to the "HoopSnake Hotel", Mike pointed out that the
pooptube was still hanging 10 feet up above him from the belay bolts! Oooops!
So the new father was forced to pull the "mother cat" routine,
and carry his newborn in his teeth as he climbed up to the tube!
Bwahahahaha!!
I was laughing so hard I could barely hold the camera steady as I documented the event!
I learned a valuable lesson that day.

The lesson is to have your tube near you BEFORE creating your intestinal sculpture!

Yup. Choose your partners carefully. The real Largo only gives up the names, and leaves it to your imagination as to the truth of the story.

Mmm...Looks like crap, smells like crap, and even tastes like crap...Sure glad I didn't accidentally drop it!
Admirable commitment to the climbing environment, but they has to have been a better way. Sure that's not just his lunch?
Thanks for the fun

I love the guy's face. No panic, just, like, "Yo. I have a bag of my own sh#t in my mouth. Just let me climb up these here aiders and then maybe I'll traverse over yonder..."
Beautiful.

I think we underestimate the toughness of that guy. He could have easily tucked the twins in his chalkbag, but noooooo, he went for the mother cat option instead. He is clearly one Bada$$.
