“transport it down. (Suggestion: use a sled.)”

A catapult on the edge of a gorge would be more fun :)

Yea, maybe we could have some fun with this.
Catapult or Cannon works for me.
Make it a contest of innovative ideas to solve the problem.
Preferably using available materials and not lug heavy equipment up the mountain.
Maybe saw the top off spent oxygen canisters and make crap grenade launchers.
Or rockets, and get rid of them too?
Can't urine can be used to make one component of explosives?

If they are going to run that many people up there, why don’t they install some kind of septic system? Or maybe they could run a sewage pipe down the side of the mountain where it can be hooked up to their city sewer.

Sure... urine contains urea, which can be used to create urea nitrate. Of course, you still need nitric acid for that, but manure is a good source of nitrogen, so you may be on to something there.

Every climbing permit comes with a 10’ joint of 8” pipe and an ice cream scoop. Carry your pipe until you reach the top of the pipeline and hook yours on. First guy carries his a few feet, last guy carries his to the top of the mountain, so apply early. Then use your ice cream scoop to, uh, mold round shapes and allow them to freeze before dropping in the pipe. That process should be no more disgusting than wading thru piles of waste matter and corpses like they are already doing.

One hundred years ago, proto-environmentalists welcomed the motorcar because it seemed certain that growing cities would be buried in horse dung pollution from personal transportation. They had slide-rules models to prove it.

so they did away with horse poop and gave us air pollution, experts are idiots. I may be a little weird, but that question has always been in the back of my brain. Where does it go....I am old enough to remember out houses... I love indoor plumbing, don;t have to worry about all the poop, it goes invisible after a while
