Can Drones Revolutionize Climbing the World's Deadliest Mountains? | K2 with Andrzej Bargiel

[@beniniandrea]

It's incredible... Really, i've seen many many documentary on K2, many tragedy of died alpinists, many stories of mans who left their teammates alone in the death zone due to the harsh conditions.. Now i see a man with his ski on his shoulder reaching the top without additional oxigen, drinking a redbull and goind down. It's mindblowing, i really can't understand it.

[@zmalol]

I do not understand it too how he could make it all in one push. Superhuman or just Polish? Let's hope he doesn't push the limits too far in future even supported by drone. He deserved better fate than death by falling or freezing in the mountains.

[@snorni]

Redbull makes you a superhuman. At least in this ad ;)

[@bertieballs]

If you watch the whole descent video he was dropped off by helicopter, this one is just about the drones used.

My highest respect for the climber and skier, but also for the drone pilot. They have set a new benchmark. The only problem I see is, that drones will be less used for safety then for higher risks -see ABS -Syndrom. Good Luck to all of you!

[@bertfarin8755]

Wow, amazing cinematography and a quantum leap in practical use of a drone. I imagine purists might be appalled. But how can you dispute the efficacy of rescuing a stranded climber, or delivering medicine up high safely via drone vs. putting the safety of a climbing Sherpa at risk. Seems to me, that is a fair trade off. Skiing down that knife edge band of snow along that ridge line was awesome.

[@waynecake5867]

Bert Farin The real leap is how to hack a DJI drone.

[@trilltron2885]

Good point, so often Sherpas are tasked with rescue operations, much better to send a drone instead. My only worry is that as mountaineering becomes more accessible and popular, id hate to see a clogged airspace of 100s or even 1000s of buzzing drones on climbing routes.

[@bicycletrips8141]

When Bartek asked DJI for help with modifying their drone so that it can fly at the altitude of 8 km above the sea level they told him that it is totally impossible and they refused any assistance. Bartek had to do all the modifications by himself. That's probably why he never mentioned in his interviews the name of the manufacturer of the drone.

As of today, February 08, 2021, 3 mountaineers/climbers are lost on K2, and on one can practically use the drones. Forces are using helicopters again to try to find the lost climbers who were attempting Winter Ascent of K2. Temperatures are near -68 C. All of this situation today makes it look like a marketing gimmick.

[@chrisnowak3341]

Agree the team deserves a lot of praise for helping potentially save lives and achieving an unreal first ski descent. Still, Red Bull sponsors Bargiel so they very much help such athletes achieve these feats. Without sponsorship this journey would likely be more dangerous (by limiting resources due to cost) or not even take place as Bargiel maybe would just be working a more standard job to earn a living.
