Anyone seen this yet? Dear lord.

Gotta give the guy credit- he had a pretty positive attitude about it.

I had a partner shit his pants while we were climbing Huandoy Sur in Peru. He used a knife to cut out his underwear and made a feeble attempt to keep going, but we soon had to retreat.

I got my head stuck once coming out of a cave - it was called Frustration Pit, which was proven by my experience. Took me almost an hour to get unstuck and out of there. Talk about embarrassed!

Thanks, folks. Hope you got as big a laugh as I did.

Gotta give the guy credit, too, for the little speech afterward. I would've gone straight home.

...of course I wouldn't have crapped myself on the climb. The between-pitch-emergency, I'll admit to. And some wait-I-can't-lead-yet-give-me-a-second stuff. But this... wow.
