How do mountain climbers take care of business in such a harsh place?

This may be a gross question, but I've never heard an answer for it. Specifically, how do mountain climbers use the toilet? Do they just leave it on the mountain, or pack it in a plastic bag or what? Also, if, like on Mount Everest, it's so cold that you'll get frostbite if you expose your skin to the air for more than 30 seconds, how do they do it then? Adult diapers maybe like astronauts?

Also, I hear that climbers use up like 15,000 calories per day. What do they eat that has so many calories? Big Macs? Or do they take some kind of high fat paste or something?
