If they are so worried about the human waste, why not build some facilities.? Anybody who has climbed Mt. Whitney will know what I am talking about when I say that solar pit latrines will solve alot of their problems. There are 2 of these up on the mtn, one at 10,000 feet and another at 12,000'. If they can build them to work on that rockpile, there is no reason why they can't make it work on the Con.
And that brings up another point, if all those backpacking greenies weren't up on Mt. Whitney, they wouldn't need them. So why is it ok for one form of recreation and not another
