Urine is separated in the toilet and then evaporated using solar collectors and battery powered fans. Oops, that's what they do at 12,700ft in Colorado. Never mind. At 12,000 ft on Mt Whitney urine goes mostly on the ground. Tons each year. Hopefully a lot of it evaporates, but I think Laura's experience is not uncommon. She knows the mountains, Joe.

Back on topic, does anyone have a report on the WAG bag situation from the JMT junction down the other side of the mountain?
