People climbing Mount Everest will now have to clear up their own poo and bring it back to base camp to be disposed of, authorities have said.

"Our mountains have begun to stink," Mingma Sherpa, chairman of Pasang Lhamu rural municipality, told the BBC.

The municipality, which covers most of the Everest region, has introduced the new rule as part of wider measures being implemented.

Due to extreme temperatures, excrement left on Everest does not fully degrade.

"We are getting complaints that human stools are visible on rocks and some climbers are falling sick. This is not acceptable and erodes our image," Mr Mingma adds.

Climbers attempting Mount Everest, the world's tallest peak, and nearby Mount Lhotse will be ordered to buy so-called poo bags at base camp, which will be "checked upon their return".

eh? this is Everest who is going to climb up and down to empty said hut?

seems a simple solution to pick up after yourself, like you would when walking a dog just leaving it lying on the mountain is a health hazard

can you imagine the scene. You get to the summit, ready to take a photo at the top, and sitting there beside you is

Composting toilets dear

Considering how long people have been climbing Everest it seem they waited until they were in the sh1t before doing anything

How did he fall?

"He was reaching for a grip on an overhang, and his hand slipped off a frozen turd"

Here for the annoucement in 2050: "Mount Everest is actually 2 metres taller than it was 20 years ago..."

From the OP....Due to extreme temperatures, excrement left on Everest does not fully degrade.

From google

Do you have to empty a composting toilet?
In most cases, you'll need to empty the composting toilet about once a month if you use it within your home, and if it's used infrequently, such as in your weekend cabin, you probably just need to empty it one time a season. If that sounds like a good reason to invest in a composting toilet, don't stop there.26 May 2023

so basically somone would need to hike up to bring down a load of someone elses ****....what a job!



Obviously in the past the numbers climbing were miniscule compared to now
