Have you done it?

Have you done it?No, I don't like expensive, high altitude GUIDED tours or long lines.

If it’s on your bucket list, bring a bucket.

What if you have the scours, like from a Taco Bell Beefy Supreme Chalupa Grande?
To: C19fan
It would be frozen, no? Throw it downhill.

"WhileI've never met anyone who has climbed Everest I'd be much more impressed if I met someone who had summited K2 the second highest. It's a much harder climb and not for rich tourists because your chances of dying are much higher." That's some circular logic right there.
To: C19fan
Bring back the poo but leave the dead bodies. You’d think everything should be brought back.

When caving on long and deep trips you are required to bring back your poo. They wrap the poo in plastic and roll it. They call them burritos. Some caves you cannot even pee in the cave. You carry a pee bottle. Don’t get your pee bottle mixed up with your drinking water.

There was nothing circular about it.

I somehow doubt this
Poop at those temps and that snow cover
We have several here who climb seriously
See what they surmise

It’s a bit more than that
I think it’s 6.5 miles of incline at 10-20% O2 we have in music city
And cold as hell
Windy
Snowblind and avalanche risk
Yes it’s easier than must of the big ones but it’s still a challenge and most don’t summit
It’s easier than winter ascent of McKinley which although much lower is still low air given oxygen at the poles thins more than at equator
And the cold is so wicked there and snow being walking distance literally from the ocean
Anyhow you have point that it is touristy nowadays
One point is Everest has more difficult approaches too but they are harder to access

Yeah, it's the feces, not the dozens of corpses -- we know because a few years ago the Sherpas went up and disposed of Green Boots and the others near the main path of ascent.

i suspect the REAL stink comes from the dozens of bodies of dead climbers left up there in situ ... the pictures are ghastly: mummified bodies dressed in colorful, brand-new-condition, non-biodegradable mountain climbing togs ...

Hopefully, they soon install sanitary napkin dispensers at the top...for menstruating men.

What if you have the scours, like from a Taco Bell Beefy Supreme Chalupa Grande? Wait for the puddle to freeze solid, then soar it down like a frisbee!
