Are drones the future of climbing ....
|
I was wondering if drones should be embraced as the "future of climbing" … ??? |
|
No. |
|
Who cares climbing is already ruined. Let masses do what they want and call it cool. Damnit Alex |
|
I’ll start racking my sling shot so I can shoot your drone down. |

1/10. |

Pretty much two of those things already happen with helicopters. Drones aren't really that different. |
|
No. Leave your annoying toys at home. No one wants to listen to that. |
|
They're certainly going to become the future of skeet shooting... |
|
There are 12 gauge rounds available that are actually designed to down drones with little "bolos" equipped with hooks. |
|
I can see it being useful for setting up a TRS, amongst other useful applications. |
|
I have never used a drone, (but have been annoyed by them) …. I have seriously wondered if drones should be added to climbers equipment list, to be used when appropriate, to inspect routes (especially back country), to make sure the route can "go" safely, and that climbers have appropriate gear with them. |

I think a drone will be strapped to our backs and provide the "catch" when we fall. No rope or pro needed....oh it's coming for sure... |

Lots of climbing has happened for a lot of people in a lot of places without drones. |

Only by the weak. And they shouldn't be climbing; they could scrape their knees. |

Cause noone wants adventure or launching off into the unknown any more? Freaking millenials. |

haha, friend, I think you watch too many movies. Drones are of course cool, I have two drones myself, which I carefully selected on buyersimpact.co.uk and I didn't make a mistake with the choice, I often have fun with them on weekends, shoot great photos and videos. But I don't think drones are designed for such serious things as helping people climb. This is very dangerous, and I don't think you should trust such important things to a "piece of metal", maybe one day they will create very advanced models of drones, but it's too early to talk about this:)) |

I use drones for work (video production) and have brought some of my smaller drones to inspect back country cliffs. They’re very handy for that use. Drones are very annoying though and I would only use them in remote areas like this when I knew I wasn’t bothering anyone. |
