Horizon on Everest

Western Cwm Conveniences

To continue the toilet theme, people always ask me “where do you go to the toilet on Mount Everest?” well the answer is simple. If you want to have pee you do it into a crevasse, for anything more solid you have to crouch over a pile of rocks kindly placed there by a Sherpa. As you squat there a little human ant you gaze from your feet right up to the ice heights of Mount Everest and Mount Lhotse, truly from the ridiculous to the sublime.
