Hey Wolf,
Yeah, I actually spent several years studying osmolality and osmoregulation in fish, so I grasp that concept.
I am still not convinced that particle is quite the right word for the solutes in urine though....
Anyhow...
Perhaps we should only enforce piss bottles for urine above a certain osmolality? We could install osmometers on each ledge up the nose to camp 6 for people do do a quick self test...anything to keep those with a load of "brown syrup" from dumping it on the rock....urgh

Ya gotta save yur beer cans n piss into em when ya need to. Take an emptee on lead. This way, yur beer cans go straight to the base and yur partner dusn't get peed on.
Pee bombs are the ticket! 24 oz cans recommended for larger folks.
...back to the Deli...

Hey Fishy,
Probably right: "particle" may not be the best choice of verbage.
Osmometers on The Nose; I like it!
Perhaps climbers could be required to "recycle" their fluids until they reach a certain density. When it reaches the "brown syrup" density that you mention, it could then be used as a spread (like Vegemite) on crackers and such (probably have a similar taste at that point, too).
Wait a minute, maybe we're on to something here, Fishy! Maybe, climbers could be convinced to carry the stuff down afterall:
If it does indeed end up similar to Vegemite, perhaps we could pay top dollar for each pint brought down; then, after a little further processing to increase the density, we could bottle it right in the valley and export it to the Aussies and Kiwis!
But what shall we name it....anyone?
