For all the people who complain about having to shit in a bag and having to carry that bag down the mountain I remind you that someone else will be carrying your bag of shit down the mountain if you do not do it.
The most likely person who will carry down your bag of shit is a underpaid park ranger. The second most likely person who may carry down YOUR shit bag is a considerate hiker like myself who finds it appalling that a fellow member of the hiking community could be so inconsiderate and selfish to their fellow hikers.
I removed around ten bags of other peoples shit the last time I was up there, along with tons of trash that was just blowing around the mountain. It sounds like I will have my hands full when I go up there in a couple weeks with reports of 40 plus wag bags around and above trail camp.
Do not be an asshole and leave your bag behind or go to the bathroom and bury it. Far too many people go to Whitney for that to be feasible. If you see someone else leave there bags behind you should say something. This is an unacceptable problem.
