Denna säsong kommer man att använda drönare för att flyga upp material på Everest.
Citat:
When the main climbing season begins next month on Mount Everest, expedition companies will test drones that can ferry loads as heavy as 35 pounds in the high altitudes, bring back ladders used to set the climbing routes, and remove waste that is typically left behind.

När norskan Kristin Harila slog rekordet med alla 14 toppar över 8000 m på 3 månader, flögs hennes sherpas upp på vissa berg och öppnade vägen nedåt. Även utrustning transporterades upp med helikopter.
Det hela har spårat ur anser många. Vid bergsbestigning använder man inte helikopter eller drönare.
Citat:
“A new model of climbing is developing in Nepal. It was exactly [the same] on Annapurna too. [Sherpas] dropped at camp 3 and opened downward. I was surprised to read the news of [Harila’s team] climbing from base camp to camp 3 in one push on Annapurna. I know the snow and route,” Mingma G told the website.
“They [Harila’s team] had three shuttles to camp 2 and one to camp 1 yesterday. This will ruin the image of the Himalaya and the prestige of the sherpa.”

Det var Harilas team som klev över en döende sherpa.
Klättringen utvecklas i helt fel riktning.
