26,500 pounds of poop annually, they say. 4000 people in 62 years amounts to about 65 people per year.

Let's quadruple that to 260 people per year since we know the climbing activity has accelerated recently. That is over 100 pounds of poop per person.

Cimbers rarely show up alone. Sherpas, guides and support staff are normally accompany climbers. Not all to the top, but from base camp at least.
