wow. cnn publishes some really stupid stories.

20yrs ago, that base camp area would have been all snow and ice. 🥺☹️

Makes me depressed that people leave litter and filth all over Mt Everest, and that people die retrieving it. Why so disrespectful?

Seems like cheating.

Imagine having your job replaced by a drone. This could spark a Luddite rebellion against mechanization. Seriously though, Sherpas sometimes lose their lives for wealthy persons' vainglory. I'd like to hear from Sherpas about it. The closest I get to Everest is my sherpa feet socks which I love.

Weather conditions may not be always suitable for drones to be able to fly comfortably, especially in higher attitudes conditions are tougher!

Well then anyone can do it . I would t go up there tho . I heard there’s trash everywhere

But also fascism is eating our country, you fucks. Fuck off with this and do your real fucking job.

Terrible idea! These clowns have left tons of waste on the Everest climbs. Making it easier is idiotic.

Just get the drone to carry me up there.

God Save US all 🛰️🛟

This is cool. But that like that stud woman who has climbed the Seven Summits said, "The mountain is still the mountain. The challenge is still real.” But getting stuff on and off the mountain is going to save lives. (Didn't look at the comments. There ARE some saying 'anyone can do it,' right?)

Does anyone else feel that this is kinda like cheating?

Good use for them. Spend 💰 to save lives.

OK. As long as you know you wouldn't even come close to handling the approach. And that's the truth.

The climbers need to haul their own damned trash out!

Ladders, oxygen, Chipotle

This was my thinking as well.

Oops, I didn't read it.

Yeah, how about people just don’t climb Everest?

How about an escalator too?

Isreal doesn't control the airspace over Tibet or Nepal. They would shoot down drones giving supplies to Gaza, and call the people sending the supplies Hamas supporters.

Good move.

Climbing that fucking mountain is the height of human hubris and stupidity.

This drone initiative sounds like a game changer! Reducing risks for Sherpas and keeping Everest clean is a win-win. I can only imagine the views from those flying drones—just the perfect backdrop for a mountain delivery service!

maybe it can pick up the mountains of trash and feces and bring it down!

Helicopters can reach Mt Everest. In May 2005, French pilot Didier Delsalle landed on the top of the mountain in a Eurocopter AS 350 B3. Delsalle's historic landing on Everest's summit went down as the highest helicopter landing ever recorded. Read More: www.slashgear.com/1834698/heli...
