SPEARFISH, S.D. (AP) - A man ice climbing without ropes in
western South Dakota has taken the sport to a new extreme: he did
it while naked.
Law enforcement officers were called to Bridal Veil Falls on Monday
afternoon after receiving reports of a nude climber.
Officers with the National Forest Service responded and
encountered a man climbing in nothing but boots.
Authorities say another man stood nearby laughing and taking
pictures.
Bonnie Jones with the National Forest Service says the two men
explained that they "wanted to have a light-hearted moment."
Jones says the men thought it would make people laugh when they
drove by.
The two men received a verbal warning.
