Ensuring Your Summit Shots Survive the Journey Home
You spent thousands to reach the Mount Everest summit region. If your SD card fails or your phone is lost, your memories vanish. Digital backup is a vital part of your Mount Everest expedition workflow.
Keep your Everest trekking photos in three places: the original card, a rugged external SSD, and a cloud backup (once you reach Wi-Fi in Namche or Kathmandu).
Traditional hard drives have spinning parts that can fail in high altitude. Solid State Drives (SSDs) are more durable and work perfectly at Everest Base Camp, making them ideal for an expedition.
Keep your backup drives in a waterproof, padded case. The dust and moisture of the Everest trekking trail are the enemies of electronics. Protect your data like it's your oxygen supply.
The summit is a moment; the photos are forever. Be disciplined with your backups to ensure your Mount Everest expedition story lives on.
