Every year, Sherpas find a route through Everest’s dangerous Khumbu Icefall, installing the fixed ropes that paying clients will follow to the summit. But by using drones this spring to guide them, they’ll no longer have to hunt for passage through trial and error. For the first time, cargo drones will now scout ahead of these Icefall Doctors, finding the safest line.

This minimizes the number of times Sherpas will have to go back and forth through…

In my line of work, you start to form correlations. From blade steel and handle materials to blade shape, lock mechanism, and size, you begin to understand what will work best in certain situations.
