Edinburgh Science Festival - The Science of Mountaineering

A century ago, extreme weather conditions made mountaineering a dangerous game for the most ambitious thrill seekers. Thanks to advances in technology and medicine, even Everest has been conquered thousands of times. Alongside the Search and Rescue Aerial Association, which uses drones to aid in mountain rescue, we take a look at the modern mountaineering landscape and ask: has the edge been taken off exploration?
