Everest's Highest Camp Is Littered with Frozen Garbage.

The highest camp on the world's tallest mountain is littered with garbage that is going to take years to clean up, according to a Sherpa who led a team that worked to clear trash and dig up dead bodies frozen for years near Mount Everest's peak.

... The Nepal government-funded team of soldiers and Sherpas removed 11 tons (24,000 pounds) of garbage, four dead bodies and a skeleton from Everest during this year's climbing season.

Ang Babu Sherpa, who led the team of Sherpas, said there could be as much as 40-50 tons (88,000-110,000 pounds) of garbage still at South Col, the last camp before climbers make their attempt on the summit.

"The garbage left there was mostly old tents, some food packaging and gas cartridges, oxygen bottles, tent packs, and ropes used for climbing and tying up tents," he said, adding that the garbage is in layers and frozen at the 8,000-meter (26,400-foot) altitude where the South Col camp is located. ...

Of course it is - have you ever seen a public space after -------- inhabit it for any length of time? Like the WI state house after their sit in or the CHOP in Seattle after a week or so of Democrat rule. In fact, I would wager that the top 100 most dangerous neighborhoods in America are ALL Democrat voting. They love to live in their own poo and where ever they move, they will bring the same.

Another ghost story. oooo I'm scared...

blah blah blah Democrats are dangerous?
...
...
...
you coward

I lived in Alaska 14 years. It's the most dangerous RED state in the union... I was literally surrounded by Republicl0wns and righty tighty wingnuts possessing arsenals of weapons itching to shoot at someone and take over the whirrrrrrrrled. People used to vanish there. A LOT They shoot each other... or themselves ... often. It's a very Darwinian experience. I feel safer living in DC.

RED states are notoriously dangerous and tragically poor. Tell the truth... y'all love nothing more than telling us what bad @$$eS you are and we better watch our step. YOU know what? I still go to those places because I refuse to let some gun-toting red white and blue cl0wnscum intimidate me to keep me from visiting places in the country I love.

Sorry you had a bad experience visiting those dangerous democrat cities existing in your imagination. Try thinking about something else.

Oh and the"love living in their own poo" part of your ghost story... Republicl0wns in Alaska do it in buckets that stack up outside their cabins until spring thaw. It's one of the things they do while living free.

ergo... backatcha

My wager is everyone of these so called environmental pigs from USA that promote spreading this trash on Mt Everest votes D. Hypocrisy is their middle name.

But I could be wrong.

This was news years ago, guess someone just now found it out.

Who knew mountain climbing was a partisan sport. Perhaps there should be red and blue teams?

According to Clodio and Robson, the red team can't even get on the mountain.

Ah humanity, the only living species that actively attempts to
destroy the sole planet it lives on...

Heading for extinction. I give it, oh, about 150-300 years.
