It's something that features on many people's bucket lists.
But if you've always dreamed of climbing Mount Everest, new regulations may make you reconsider.
People who climb the world's highest mountain will now have to bring their own poo back to base camp.

Climbing Everest is nothing more than a real expensive tour.
I’m surprised they don’t bring it down anyway and burn it and use the carbon for the garden.
“The sherpas”
Speaking of them I recall reading that Sherpa Tenzing was the first to reach Mt. Everest, not Edmund Hillary.
I recently saw where they had like a 50 person waiting line at the top so people could do their photo op. Looks like too many people are doing it, not on my bucket list.
Many of them have also died on the way up and you can see the bodies of those who tried but did not make it.
What they need to bring are mini catapults to fling their turds way off to the side. Can you imagine you are freezing and breathing hard in the thin air. And you must pick up your shyte, bag it and take it down the mountain? Not me!
Are some feminazi Scandinavian Gretas in charge here at the roof of the world? F em.
The mother of all slippery slopes.
There's a "5-Mile-High Club" for Mt. Everest?!"
Are there female sherpas?
Regards,
Females?
Who needs females??
I have been in SW Colorado the past 6 weeks ice climbing. I know a few guides that take contracts on Everest each year.
One of them told me the dangers of high altitude are real. Also the most technical part of the climb is the Hillary Step. If this section were at a lower altitude like in CO. It would be rated 5.6 in difficulty. They now have a ladder there, so people don’t have to climb it.
I worked the kids wall this year at the Ouray Ice Fest with Lakpa Rita Sherpa. He has submitted Everest 17 times. Meaning he set the ropes, and got the rich folks to the top. Very nice humble man.

It’s hard to find a Porta Potty at 20,000 feet, isn’t it?
Honor system? Will each climber fill out a form promising to bring it all back with them?
And if they don’t, how will we ever know and what would be the consequences? You’d better go back up there and get it?
Applications for The Poo Police can be “downloaded” online.
Imaging the poor shmuck from San Francisco who decides he’s had enough of the poopy streets and decides to head to the farthest place he can think of to escape......Mt. Everest. Only to find it’s just like home? Bummer
Somebody actually brought a two year old. Risked the life of their toddler.
Bring them down and add them to gardens in Sherpa village. Enrich the soil.
Sling shots.
