Poop: Waste Disposal Strategies for Climbers - Access Fund Blog. Everybody does it. Whether you’re cragging, hanging off the side of a big wall, or making your way across a glacier, poop happens. But did you know that the improper disposal of human waste can threaten access? Land managers don’t look kindly on human feces coming in contact (direct or indirect) with drinking water, other recreationalists, or wildlife.
Not to mention the transmission of disease-causing pathogens from human waste. Gross, right? The best methods for human waste disposal will vary depending on what kind of environment you’re climbing in. There are a number of readily available bag systems (or “wag bags”) on the market, including Restop, GO anywhere, and Biffy Bag. Note: Bag systems are generally the best option for sensitive environmental areas. Select an inconspicuous site where other people are unlikely to walk or camp — at least 200 feet (about 70 steps) away from water, trails, and camps.
