Those hoping to climb Everest this year will have to make some slight adjustments to their packing list, as new rules now mandate that climbers bring their excrement down with them from the world’s highest peak, in a bid to tackle pollution.
In fairness it’s $35k to climb it, a third of that goes straight to Nepal and they have thousands climb every year. Surely that’s enough to get some robotics garbage & poop system?.
I get people should bring their own garbage down but if they’re that rich my point is that they can pay someone else to do it
Wonder how much it would cost to install some sort of tube system where you carry up cylinders and can send them down the tube periodically as you climb with your shit and garbage inside and it just slides to the bottom where you take care of it later.

Good thought, I’m sure they could fund it very quickly with the amount of revenue going through that damn mountain
