A case study of the use of drones in the historic first ski descent of K2, carried out in 2018 by Poland’s Andrzej Bargiel
When on 22 July 2018 Andrzej Bargiel carried out the first complete ski descent of K2, he was as Jimmy Chin rightly explained at the "very pinnacle of ski mountaineering". In order to achieve this extraordinary feat the 30-year-old Polish mountaineer was supported by his teammates Janusz Gołąb, Piotr Pawlus and Marek Ogień, as well as his brother Bartłomiej Bargiel who masterminded the game-changing drone that would proved vital to the expedition’s success.
