I picked an alpinist article this week that has to do with waste and the environmental implications of climbing our favorite mountains maybe a bit too much. The article basically just talked about the issues that surround mountaineering, and a meeting in Colorado that was held between experts on the issues, and asked questions about how to fix some of the issues that surround the environmental impacts of mountaineering. I liked this article because it has to do with my final paper topic, and the environmental aspect of mountaineering, as well as some of the issues we have talked about in class, with the first week and people leaving their waste on the mountain, and the dead bodies that do litter Everest everyday.
