Huawei on Mount Everest

[eric-list at truenet.com (Eric Tykwinski)]

Honestly, being an amateur rock climber, Iâ??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 doesnâ??t seem feasible, unless thereâ??s something I donâ??t know.
