    Waste is a problem on Everest and they have been working on it for years. If frozen .poop is a problem, they should clean it up for sure.

      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.

        people aren’t risking death just to get to the area it’s in.

        How will they get it from ‘the area it’s in’ to the trebuchet? Is there a drone idea for the last-metre work?

          Nah that’s what our 8 men are for. Someone got there to take a shit originally, someone ought to be able to get there to retrieve it.

        Ohhh you could do the same thing with the corpses too! Looks like someone is getting a funeral after all!
