Instead, place feces in a doubled paper bag and add a bit of kitty litter or lime to reduce odor and absorb moisture. Carry filled paper bags up the wall in a PVC pipe with camps on both ends. Conveniently pulled along below a haul bag. After the climb, the paper bags can be dumped in a pit toilet. Consider packing out all human waste that would otherwise be left on-route.
Human waste breaks down very slowly even in the best conditions.
