Pretty impressive stuff.

On a similar vein I went to a talk by Hari Budah Magar, who's the first double leg amputee to climb everest a while ago. He came over as another guy who's achieved a lot despite losing his legs and refused to let things we all take for granted hold him back.

Hari Budha Magar | above-knee AMPUTEE

Hari Buddha Magar, a former British soldier is closing in on his goal to become the world’s first double above-knee amputee to summit the world's tallest mountain and face the world’s toughest conditions.

No, it's all the unwanted crap left at Everest base camp, I believe.

Thought it were clearing it up and charging climbers to do so.
At leas the crap is frozen

Matt, Birmingham has had major rubbish issues as some of the people that collect the rubbish have been on strike, hence my flippant remark
