Which, and I am not making this up, is precisely what I did by accident at about 3:40 am, somewhere around 17,800', en route up Kilimanjaro, when I went to the bathroom off the trail. I pulled everything up, and started making my way back to my very small party when I realized I was hobbled. I looked down, my pants were up. One of my guides flashed his headlamp on my lower legs and intoned, "You forgot to pull up your underwear." The ensuing hilarity, especially mine, damned near sent me tumbling all the way down to base camp. You can't make this shit up .
