What's the over/under on the first synchonized dance video from the top of Everest?

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.

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. Sincerely, Eric Tykwinski TrueNet, Inc. P: 610-429-8300

Depending on how high and the weather conditions, it might give a false sense of security. Or it might serve the same purpose as for Rob Hall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Hall) in the 1996 Everest disaster (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Mount_Everest_disaster), namely give you a chance to call your pregnant wife and say goodbye. Tragic story. Back to the NOG content: I agree, a publicity stunt, maybe useful for a bit of telemetry but I can’t imagine the hardware would survive more than a season. Regards, -drc

Hi John, Climbers who care rent or buy satphones and beacons. They're mostly based on low earth orbit and generally able to punch through weather. https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/personal-locator-beacons.html Your everyday cell phone is composed of consumer-grade electronics that aren't designed to work in the conditions atop Everest. Even if the phone works, it's not a great idea to remove your glove atop Everest in order to work the phone. I love the sketch in the article about why flat-earthers are affected by 5G. https://telecoms.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2020/05/flat-earthers-5g-d... Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
You're all missing the point... We can now watch cat videos from the top of Everst. C'mon! Shouldn't that rank among the greatest of man's achievements? On Fri, May 01, 2020 at 01:57:42PM -0400, John Levine wrote:
