The smear and dry method may be appropriate in some rocky mountain areas where you can't dig a cathole, but not so good on Mt. Whitney with 200+ people a day smearing it around, 17,000+ each season. It's just too many people and they tend to camp in 2 main areas. This is where toilets are the best solution, in my opinion.
