There are literally tons of human poop on Mount Everest

Amtrak used to ...dump... waste...right on the tracks...Paul Harvey...quipped “When I was a kid I always used to wonder why the strawberries grew so well along the railroad tracks..........now I know”.

LOL!! And I wondered why, in the greenswards of Ireland where sheep are always grazing, the grasses are shorn as close as a if a lawn mower had passed by, except for the clumps of grass every here and there. I guess they navigate their food safety and readiness by smell.

Pat... Patarovia, is that it?

Patagonia®, named after a mountain range in Argentina and Chile.

There are some problems I just do not care enough about to comment on, or even make a joke over. As they say, this too shall pass.

They ought to weigh in the climbers at the base, and require that they weigh out at the same number. Climbers will eat a certain weight of food and use a certain weight of gear; they should carry sealable plastic poop bags and take an equal amount of weight down with them.

According to The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy:

Bethselamin

Bethselamin is a fabulously beautiful planet which attracts billions of tourists each year. Unsurprisingly, cumulative erosion is a serious concern of the local authorities.
Their solution is to calculate the net imbalance between the amount of matter eaten and the amount subsequently excreted by each visitor, and remove the weight difference through amputative surgery.
Thus it is vitally important to get a receipt after every trip to the lavatory while on the planet.

I thought it all runs downhill?

I was at Academy Sports a few days ago marveling at all the useless crap they sell for camping/hiking. If I took even half of that stuff I’d have to use a vehicle. I prefer to go light! Just me and what I can fit in/on my backpack!

How about mandatory butt plugs for every climber. They are not allowed to remove the plugs until they get back down!

zip lines are the answer.

fill a net bag with trash or waste, hook it on a zip cable, and it’s at the bottom of the mountain in 2 minutes.

...by the clean end.

zip lines are the answer.

Clever, practical and do-able. Except they have to be able to bear the weight of corpses. That would require unsightly metal towers. Because if you instruct a yuppie liberal not to exceed a certain weight limit, they would sincerely believe it wouldn't apply to them. And they would sue.

I’ve always wanted to see a story that provides data than another mountain is bigger than Everest.

From the song “City of New Orleans”:

...

The conductor sings his song again,
The passengers will please refrain

...

That is ... refrain from using the toilets while the train is in the station. They dump directly on the tracks ...
