Ng Lam Local Government Area has decided to issue a directive for all people climbing Mount Everest and nearby Mount Loche, the fourth highest mountain in the world, to carry fecal bags.
``A foul smell has started to waft in our mountains,'' said Sherpa chairman of Khumbu Pasang Lam Local Government Area. ``Human feces can be seen under the rocks.''
``There have been complaints from some climbers that they have contracted the disease,'' he said, explaining the background to these measures. Once the measures begin, climbers climbing Mount Everest and nearby Mount Loce will
All climbers must prepare a bag to defecate, and the contents of the bag must be inspected by authorities upon reaching base camp after climbing the mountain.
Climbers on Everest stay on the mountain for about two weeks on average, but only the base camp near the starting point has toilets.
Once they start climbing the mountain in earnest, they mainly dig in the ground and use it as a toilet at low altitudes. However, the higher the altitude, the more snow is piled up and the ground is hardened, so it is difficult to dig into the ground.
It is said to solve physiological phenomena. Due to the extremely low temperatures, human waste left on Everest often remains undecomposed for long periods of time.
It is estimated that there is approximately 3 tons of human waste between Mount Everest Base Camp 1 and Base Camp 4 just before the summit. Especially this
Half of them are located at South Caul (8,000 meters), the highest camp on Everest. Austrian mountaineer Stefan Keck said that Camp No. 4 is an “open type” camp.
He said it was nothing but a "toilet" and that because of the strong winds and lack of ice and snow, he could see human waste scattered in all directions.
Pasang Lamu municipality has built around 8,000 mountain climbing peaks for the climbing season starting in March.
We are procuring stool bags. The bag contains chemicals and powder that solidify human waste and make it nearly odorless.
