Photos: What happens to poop on Everest?

What do you do when nature calls and you're climbing Everest? Digging a hole in the snow is out of the question, although this does happen at some of the camps, explains former climber and engineer, Garry Porter.

How many of us have our best ideas on the toilet?

No really, it can happen. Take Zuraina Zaharin from Malaysia. She's built a business off the back of a loo break. Not just any loo break, of course. This one was near Everest in the early 2000s when she was climbing in the region -- and it was pretty bleak.

"I was facing this problem: the toilet," she explains. "It's easy for men to do their business; they can just do it anywhere. But not for the ladies. We have to wait until we find some nice spot. Even then, I can't do it. I just have to find the toilet."

Things didn't improve upon discovering the facilities, however. "The last toilet at Everest base camp is a pit latrine," Zaharin continues. "The smell, God knows... it's so stinky."
