Don’t climbers eat nothing but arugula and granola bars? Sounds like the bears can take care of this crappy problem.

This kind of stuff scares the sh_t outta me.

I wonder what his title is. And whether he was promoted from within, or whether the government employed the services of a Headhunter to find him.

Every winter I let my big dogs run free un the backyard with hopes the poop fairy comes along in spring, or at least it will melt away with the now.

No luck.

San Francisco will sue for upstaging them.

From the article:

...new NPS regulations asked each climber trekking above the mountain's 14,200-foot (4,300 m) Camp Four to capture their waste in a Clean Mountain Can, a 1.88-gallon polyethylene container designed to hold 10 to 14 bowel movements.

So where does one get a Fecal Measurement/Container Design Engineering degree?

They will no longer be able to sell it on a stick.

More poop sh*t is deposited on the streets of San Francisco, Seattle, and LA on any given afternoon than in 100 years on Mount McKinley.

“That’s a lot of sh*t. I wonder how they calculated this number.”
Length *width * depth * AOC squared.

The PooVak Pooper Scooper Vacuum Poovak Pooper scooper vacuum your pet's waste into a disposable bag. Why, because picking up pet waste by hand or with a shovel is revolting, repellent, repulsive, sickening, nauseating, yucky, icky, groos, and not dignified.

I have heard it is unwise to stand at the base of El Capitan in Yosemite and look up. Climbers scaling that sheer rock face used to crap in paper bags and drop it and it went straight down and landed at the base of the cliff. I can’t imagine what it smelled like around there but it must have been pretty rank.

Is it safe to assume that most people climbing the mountain are eco-friendly types. They love Nature so much that they shi* on Nature...because it is for THEIR convenience. I guess they are hypocrites. The self-centered bums should pack their poop out. LOL

[teeman8r]

They hire Mexicans to carry it out. Oh, that’s why they don’t want to build the wall

[CommerceComet]

Just send it to San Francisco. They seem more tolerant of it than normal humans.

Dang! Well, there goes the stock in my moose nugget jewelry business.

And yes, you can polish a turd.

I recall helping someone haul items to the Garland, TX dump early June @2006......there were veggies and herbs everywhere. Garland hauled dried sewage there...

I did not take any produce home.
