High on Everest, with few exceptions, you stay were you lay.

If up to forty people a day are traveling the same route, and a percentage do not make it back down, are World Greenies getting concerned about pollution on Everest? It sounds positively crowded to me. do climbers pack down what they carry up, or is that also considered secondary to beating death and reaching the summit?
Yes. Do a Google search on "EVEREST CLEAN UP" and you get over a million hits. Base camp is a huge mess and there are "service" expeditions that just go there to clear away the trash. Apparently the latrine area's a disaster.
