Honestly, being an amateur rock climber, I’m in the same boat, but how the hell are they going to get power up there for dependability. 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.

wow, I guess it would be great to be able to use cell/gps technology to communicate with and track a lost/endangered climber

Why dont we leave the Everest alone? 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.
