Solar power sure is a great option, but I was under the assumption that repairs will be hell to put it bluntly. Batteries in that cold of a climate is also a regular trip. which doesn’t seem feasible, unless there’s something I don’t know. Sincerely, Eric Tykwinski TrueNet, Inc.

OTOH, we can now have tiktok videos and latest instagram posts from the summit. Given how dangerous the ascent is, I would think it would be a good thing for climbers to be able to check in and say whether they are OK. I agree it's mostly a publicity stunt, though.
