It's common in big wall climbing. They're actually quite safe if they're hitched into bolts.
Back in the old days when a climber had to bivvy overnight on a big wall, they had to force themselves to stay awake the entire night because if they fell asleep they would probably fall to their deaths. The most protection they would have is a piton or something similar. If you're interested in these stories I highly recommend reading books like Gaston Rebuffat's "Starlight and Storm" and some of the books accounting the ascents of the great north faces of the Alps. The first real attempt on the north face of The Eiger (Ogre) resulted in a locale being nicknamed the "Death Bivouac" after the climbers were forced to bivvy there overnight. You can guess the outcome of the climb by the name. Even though I've had some experience climbing on ice, I don't like the idea of falling asleep while anchored into a cam or bolt.

Yeah and my car is quite safe too until something goes wrong and I go crashing into an oncoming semi at 75...... I dont think I could sped 8 hours hanging from some bolt screwed into a cliff face...... |

Mountain climbing intrigues me, and Climbing Everest or even K2 would be a dream come true and I'd do it in a heartbeat.
But... suspending myself asleep on a cliff face for hours? Not something I care to do... ever. |

Now they carry big PVC tubes and place the waste in them ( at least in Yosemite ). NEVER EVER walk near the base of ElCapitan first thing in the morning. |

As for taking a dump you are supposed to go in a brown bag and then shove it into a PVC pipe to haul it off when you leave. Not nice to look up and take a face full because some jerk above doesn't care about hygiene or the environment. |
