I bet the shell station trash can would be a great place to deposit wag bags..
"It’s a not so secret secret that people who call themselvs trad climbers dont actually climb. They just post shit on rocklimbing.com all night while masturbating to Parrollelojams."

why would you need a special trash can at the crag? packing it out means packing it out.
my bad, i guess i misread Meadows post. I thought she was implying that there would be container for depositing the bags, maybe she meant for supplying them?
With all the stuff getting ganked at the red lately I don't think it would be a good idea to hang shovels. But i guess most people who climb at the lode are more likely to be ethical than someone climbing at a gumby wall. I like the idea of signs or a tshirt.
If someone was willing to buy a pooper scooper and a radiation suit I would go pick that shit up .

Best laugh of my day, no doubt. But, hey, at least the shit there probably doesn't stink...
that was the best laugh until you made the "shit don't stink" comment. hey to all you poor folks who can't stay regular i got one word for you, metamucil. try it, and you too will be regular.
as weird as this sounds, why not have somthing like a pooper scooper and a waste bucket for the lode. every one or two weeks someone just takes the garage bag out and tosses it.
Cleveland - I have a pooper scooper and the Lode is no exception. That crag especially sees people from all over such as Euros who supposedly don't have issues with where to place their deposits.

You have to be joking...
OK, so here is the thing. You are not just dealing with smelly poop, you are dealing with a whole host of health hazards. IMO, it's not a good idea to try to collect waste in any form, not even in wag bags. Also, the shared shovel thing is just gross. I don't even like to touch my own shovel, let alone the one that some jackhole just put back after he wiped his ass and got a little on his hands.
IMO, we do what everyone else does.. posts signs, try to educate, and hope for the best.
I have my hep vaccines, i would pick up a bag of shit....
But you are right, there is definitely some grossness with sharing a shovel. I dont think its a big deal for people to pack out their own waste, though.

no doubt. full circle completed.
i do like options 2, 6 and 7. option 6 should be amended to add "Rick Bost goes to busy crags and gives demonstrations of How to Shit in the Woods while in the presence of the offending party - mid violation."
