Guess Who Really Poops On Mother Nature?
Not SUV-driving Right Wing Death Beasts. No, the evil-doers are granola-chomping mountain climbers.
The unsanitary conditions created by piles of human feces on Mount McKinley can cause diarrhea among climbers, which can lead to widespread problems when combined with the physical stress of a mountain expedition, according to the report in the journal Wilderness and Environmental Medicine.Of 132 climbers interviewed on the 20,320-foot (6,200-meter) peak in the summer of 2002, more than a quarter reported having trouble with diarrhea, said the report, which was conducted by officials with the Alaska Division of Public Health.
New Jersey is more sanitary than Mt. McKinley. Take that (instead of Shinnecock), teary-eyed Native American Person!

So when they call for help on the radio and say they're in deep doo-doo, they really mean it?

What, all those daring climbers can't hang their butts over the edge of a high cliff, and give the birds a taste of their own medicine?!?!???!

If you can pack it in, you can pack it out.
So to speak.

Seriously, these guys should pack it out. If they can't bury their feces where it will decompose without threatening public health, they ought to do what doggie owners have been required to do for years......carry a ready supply of s**t mitts.
