Drone Technology Transforms Mount Everest Expeditions While Creating New Career Paths
Drones are transforming mountaineering on Mount Everest by delivering crucial equipment like ladders, ropes, and oxygen cylinders to dangerous areas such as the Khumbu Icefall. Operated by Airlift Technology, these drones reduce journey times between Base Camp and Camp One from 6-7 hours to just 6-7 minutes, significantly improving safety for Sherpa guides who traditionally make these treacherous trips.
