Worst toilet on a route? 19-May-2009 At 1:31:23 PM allroundgoodguy

Toilets in action

One Easter a few years ago climbing Brolga got to the large ledge on the 3rd? pitch where it joins Salamander. I think about 3 climbs get to this ledge
and converge into the one line to get to the top. Being Easter this was Bumbly heaven (hell ?) with groups on all of these climbs, another party had just started leading the final pitch up to the top. So we had no option but to wait our turn. By this time the ledge was getting crowded with at least 6 other people hangin out. No problems it’s a big ledge, weather was pleasant, not too hot, until somebody declared they had to go. No amount of pleading by his belayer or offers of que jumping by others could put him off. The time was now, when a mans got to go, a mans got to go, It suddenly became a very small ledge, with a very small bush as shelter at one end and every one else crowded at the far end …. Ok no more graphic descriptions.

I have no idea who you are, but if it was you, you know who you are. I’m scarred for life & My psychologist thanks you.
