FROM STORY:
Last year, the Nepali government instituted a new rule requiring each climber to bring 18 pounds of trash off the mountain the amount it estimates a climber discards along the route, according to the AP. Climbing teams that dont comply forfeit their $4,000 deposits.
Each expedition to Everest is required to take a garbage deposit and bring their waste back, Everest Summiteers Association general secretary Diwas Pokhrel told CNN. But this system has not been strictly implemented.

Shouldn't be a problem unless someone brings a fan up Everest, just speculating :)

Put me at the bottom of that and tell me I had to start climbing and you’d see a lot of poop at the base of that mountain.

“Fecal Time Bomb”
Sounds like the name for any and every band or rap group that produces the vile thumping noise that comes out of cars at a stop light.
To: Brad from Tennessee
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.
