Draeger, along with a lot of other very interesting equipment, provide Fire Services with breathing apparatus. They invited me to their headquarters to take some photos with a piece of mountaineering history. Draeger provided breathing apparatus to the 1953 Everest expedition on which Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing made the summit. They have Hillarys actual set on display. If I ever needed inspiration, this was it!
How inspiring that must have been. Lots of luck with the climb.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to meet you Jonathan, I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to Draeger and in particular getting to see Hillary's original BA set.
ReplyDeleteWe all wish you every success in your endeavour and I shall certainly be watching your progress with keen interest!
Good luck and all the best
