That number is definitely low, you eat more in the cold and with exertion. It is probably over double your number, that is a lot of doo-doo.
I imagine all the loss of snow is exposing decades of accumulated mountain dookie.
By 2100 they are estimating a 75% loss of snow/ice on the mountain, which means at 800 climbs per year(modern rate) by 2100 there will be over 186 metric tonnes of poopy on the mountain with very little snow to hide it. I don’t even think that number includes Sherpa scat.
