As an actual climber, I can't imagine what these filthy grots do up there.

Camps always has a dedicated rubbish section, contained, easy to seal and haul. Things that are single-use are avoided as it's dead weight. Otherwise, have planned rubbish that can provide a use later, whether material or balsa containers that become kindling once empty, or keeping wet socks/gear in a dry spot that won't dampen other gear layer, or dry bags that are light, compact, sealed, and often have many uses when weather or situations change.

The rule in the mountaineering and climbing communities around here is, "Leave it better than you found it." A real climber manages their haul so well, picking up other's rubbish along the journey doesn't impact their ideal max weight. So what the fuck are these idiots doing where 11 tonnes gets taken off the mountains?! Most everything should be easily finding its way to camps for planned hauls down to base during season.
