As long as the sign said" Litter here & we will KILL you. Have a nice Day."
Props, Jesse.

Did you find my partner's swiss army knife from back in '89? The garbage in the crack was deep enough back then that we couldn't reach in and retrieve it.

They don't lower the litter out from the anchor? that seems pretty rowdy!
Surprised Lober rides the litter, you'd think some young hot shot would do that.

Thanks for the responses guys.
Riley,
They are N-95s. They seemed to do the trick, stopped the smell, and I'm not sick after a week.
Tom, You're getting here on the 10th? I have some fun work for you to do once you're here. I need the El Cap bridge liason back...soon!
I am definitely thinking of a sign in multiple languages to post at Camp 6. Maybe a plexi-glass one that we could update every few months.
The concrete or metal grate option won't fly (to much of an instalation in wilderness). Plus I think it would be cool if we could get it 100% clean, and actually have climbers all give the place the respect it deserves.

"Anyone want to continue talking about capturing your water waste and hauling it out?"
Mark- A friend of mine and I are headed to the Valley next week. After all the reading I have done here I am planning on hauling my piss off the wall.
FWIW
I made a poop tube out of PVC, and am bummed by how heavy it is. Has anyone made a poop tube out of green septic pipe? It is lighter material, but I question its' durability.

I as well want to extend my thanks to you and your crew Jesse. Anyone who saves a life and picks some trash up after the fact Kick's Ass in my opinion.

You guys should have used one of these vapor masks..
I use this when glassing surfboards and never smell a thing. It's a great $40 investment. After spending the night at Camp 6 in the early 1990's, I could smell the smell and still taste it for a week. I had a sore throat, clogged sinuses and felt really sick the morning following our bivy.
BTW, we left nothing of our 'stuff' there. I feel bad for not taking some additional trash with us.

^^^thats an awesome idea, though not sure it is in the best intrest of climbers to be shown as a bunch of disgusting pigs to the general public on National Television...true as it may be.

Have our brains clicked in yet? Eh? The NPS knows what is going on with the Nose and climbers generally. Stop thinking the NPS is stupid or ignorant. Why does the NPS allow it to continue and continue to deal with immature people thinking they can do anything they like while running around pounding their chests?
Because the Service knows its task is to preserve the land and to permit citizens supporting the park - to gain value from those parks. Complicated tasks are a part of life. Those who can't deal with complications generally wind up climbing.
Why do you think the NPS hands out so much support during Facelift? The answer to all of this is going to involve everyone facing the problems and cooperating. The NPS is hoping for a real answer.
Duh!
And when we get pissed off at a ranger just remember you have not got your sh#t together any better than has the ranger.

Hats off Jesse!
No offense but:
The concrete or metal grate option won't fly (to much of an instalation in wilderness).
^^^ Really? ^^^
Isn't that a can of regulatory worms!
Not even a previously proposed foam and epoxy filler?
Plus I think it would be cool if we could get it 100% clean, and actually have climbers all give the place the respect it deserves.
True, however unfortunate this an issue that will arise again and again.
I understand sitting in the 'Hole' belay on the Zig Zags is pretty gruesome these days as well.
As Mr. Hudon suggests carrying out your parties waste water should be part of the ethic as well
Years ago people heaved all manner of jetsam off the Captain (and other Yosemite walls). That has long since ended and I assume there is a regulation regarding jettisoning any waste be it trash or sewage ?
In the back country you used to be responsible for your food storage but that was pretty much by 'whatever means' (wire, etc). Nowadays you must by regulation use a certified bear cannister.
Are we headed for a 'no trace, haul it up/haul it out' regulations on Yosemite walls?
~~~~~~~~~~
on the humorous side:
"...a sign in multiple languages to post at Camp 6..."
Nah just epoxy a dummy video cam to the wall with a little 'active' L.E.D light.
~~~~~~~~~~
Again Kudos Jesse !
Next time I hear "How can I live in the park permanently?"
You know what thread I am sending them to.
