So what these people do is before a season starts, for example, this spring season will start from next month, these icefall doctors, these Sherpas go, they put all the rope, the chains, they tie them to the ground and nail them all the way up to the peak. So that allows the mountaineers who come next month to hold onto these ropes and then they keep climbing up. So this acts as a guide.

Like three Sherpas died in a few years ago when there was an avalanche, when they were fixing these chains and ropes. So they can immediately send in case if they need any equipment or any medicine. So for them, it is extremely useful.

These mountaineering expeditions involve massive amount of equipment. They need to be taken along with these Sherpas to set up camps in camp one, two, three, four, and then they go up the summit. So these drones can be providing very vital help
