Yeah, Gabe, my system for sh*t ain't exactly The Sh*t on slabs, that's for sure. You get a bit of abrasion on the bags. It worked fine on Excalibur and Jolly Roger, though.
Hmm, I already made the First Solo Shower Ascent of El Cap. Perhaps I need to make the First Solo Toilet Ascent?

I did my first wall in 1981. Back then we had ethical discussions over whether it was best to let the crap fly, or crap in a paper bag and toss the bag. We used to go back to the base with a plastic garbage bag and tongs and clean up. No everybody did though. The base of El Cap used to be a mess.
Now I've built a couple of poop tubes and, around 4 years ago was one of the first to experiment with river bags. It's work to be responsible but it's the best thing. I've taken many people on their first wall. Some I just met so one challenge is getting used to crapping in front of my new friends. In my experience, the wall newbies who crap every day are FAR more likely to summit than ones who try and hold on.
A tip, I eat a few pysllium husk capsules with dinner on the wall to encourage all the crap to come out at once and in the morning. (dont' want to give the tourists with telescopes too much of a thrill)
Since there is always a possility of crap residue on the stone, I bring a little bottle of antibacterial, waterless soap to clean up before dinner. This also helps keep the aluminium from messing with your skin after a few days.
Peace
Karl
PS. I heard from somebody who had to bail from the salathe wall once when he got hit with a crap bag! Later somebody told me he accidentally hit someone on the Salathe with his crap bag! Can't remember who either was fortunately

Sheesh! I would have expected a BWH (Big Wall Hedonist) such as Pete to have had this one wired. Clearly not! The only way to go on a wall is the Big Wall Stool.
As I'm sure you'll all agree, the worst part of al fresco defecation is the unaccustomed strain it exerts on your legs. After generations of soft living, we no longer have the requisite musculature to squat in comfort. Fortunately there is a better way! There is always a Better Way. And in this case, it is the Big Wall Stool. Simply get hold of one of those collapsible 3-leg camping stools and cut a sphincter-sized hole in the canvas seat. For a personalised custom job,just sit on the stool, reach underneath and locate the bullseye with a pen prior to cutting. Next, gaffer tape (that's duct tape to you colonials) a poop tube to the underside of the seat. Et voila! No more cramped thighs and straining muscles. The Big Wall Stool takes seconds to deploy and will provide you and your partner with many hours of rectal relaxation.
The real beauty of the Big Wall Stool, however, is that it totally eliminates casualties from friendly fire. No more brown on blue contacts. The suspended poop tube allows a perfect hands-free shot every mission. Even curry-fuelled Brits can deliver their payload without inflicting collateral damage.
For Winter ascents, just velcro some faux-fur fabric to the seat of your throne (but don't forget to cut that hole first!). Available from Wall-smart for just $75 plus taxes.

?? Got any photos? I gotta see this thing (preferably not while in action).
I'll read that one again after I've had my coffee and see if it makes more sense. There's nothing I hate more than not understanding the various methods of big wall crapping.
