The urge always hits me when I'm on a long stretch of highway with no exits. Then it goes away until the approach.

I'm lucky that there's nowhere around the Red to get a really good cup of coffee. I do bring my french press and some Fair Trade* coffee pretty often, so I've 'gone for a hike away from the trail' a few times at the crags.
(I'm also bummed that the gas station stopped stocking Krispy Kreme - a few of them and a really good cup of coffee and I'd be sending damn hard - after squatting behind a tree, of course)
*What's the deal with Fair Trade coffee? Almost all coffee is grown in the third world, so the recent colapse in coffee prices means that there are coffee farmers who can have a good harvest and still loose money. (Note that coffee companies are pocketing the difference) Loosing money on farming in the third world literally means starvation. Fair Trade coffee arrangements pay the farmers a fair price (aka a 'living wage'). Take a look at:

"Getting back to nature" is a bit easier at the red. Trying to find a place to shit at Supercrack area in Indain Creek where your pale white ass isn't in view to a bunch of people is kinda tricky.
Also, looking forward to my first dump on a big wall. That seems to make it a more intresting process.

Speaking about a good cup of coffee at the Red, when is a Java Hut going to open??

One of our members here, who shan't be named, took a dump from a hanging belay on the Grand Teton.

I think that would fall under the most scenic place to take a dump, I certainly think that the out house in the lower saddle of the Grand is the best view I have had so far while taking a dump

Hey dumb shits; there is only one correct answer! When you gotta go, you gotta go! I just hope I don't go in my pants!

Don't go at Miguels or he will threaten to take corn off the menu again!

Yeah, you have to clean the system to enjoy a good day of climbing. The closer you get to the route the more compicated it gets. I try to avoid hanging belay dumps by doing some planning. On the long multipitch climbs in Mexico, I take a couple of Imodium pills before I start climbing.
