14-thousand feet over Northern California, the view is spectacular.  The climb up Mount Shasta (14,179 feet) is not for everyone, but it's worth it for the people who make it. 

But, uh... where do they go to the bathroom?  The answer to that question in summer is the subject of a short documentary film in the works, called "Way to Go."

It focuses on the composting toilet at the Sierra Club cabin at Horse Camp.  Its claim to fame is that it is the highest composting toilet in the country.  Linda Chitwood and Rebeca Franco join us to talk about this notable toilet and the film about it.
