It takes 2-3 weeks to get from base camp to camp 4. So thats at least 3-4 days between camps.
I know lemmy has a thing about not pooping for 3 days, but to maintain a 3-day bowel movement cycle for 2 weeks is a bit far fetched.
The final ascent from camp 4 to summit is 10-20 hours, plus descent. Normally done in a single stretch, but likely still gonna need a shit.
So, Im going to say everyone that goes up it is gonna shit on the mountain
(Not sure how to translate post permalinks to the instance agnostic form, and the cross post shows more detail of the original post on the web interface)
Mounting piles of human poop are kicking up a stink on Mountain Everest, much to the annoyance of local authorities who are now instructing climbers they must bring their dirty business back to base camp.
So, even if they have a toilet, it isnt magically transporting the shit off the mountain.
Or, there are climbers without these magical toilets.
Or, there are enough climbers not removing their waste from everest for it to be causing a problem.
People clearly shit on everest.
Clearly, not everyone is removing their 2 weeks worth of waste
Years? Give me 8 good men, three months, and a little discretionary spending and I'll have all the shit off that mountain. We'll carry up the components to build a small trebuchet and launch platform, pieces at a time over several ascents, and once it's built proceed to sling all the shit 350m off the side of the mountain. It'll be easier to clean up once it's collected at the base and people aren't risking death just to get to the area it's in.
For a real professional amount of money, we can airdrop the trebuchet materials with a heli and only make one trip up for construction and operation.
