Frankly I can also see where nude hiking or climbing might be best for certain weather conditions. A true purest has to climb nude to meet the rock on its own terms,


I can see where it would be cool and airish but I like the addition of clothing to:
1. Help with slight abrasions <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
2. Wick and control moisture <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
3. Keep you warm <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
4. Keep you dry <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
5. Look very stylish, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Making my life a little better knowing that I won't be strutting down a crooked trail when around the corner comes a group of Girl Scouts. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> But as they wonder by they will gaze upon "Wilson", (the ball from the movie Castaway) ,painted on my nice round belly. With nothing else to hide behind, and thinking that as soon as I reach the trailhead there will be at least 2 officers waiting with cuffs. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I'll stick to clothes thank you.
