Nice to see Pentax making the effort and playing the publicity games that the other manufacturers play (advertorials, sponsorships, pitch-side avertising).

I think, that those mountain climbers are very happy not to carry that extra weight on this mountain. ( as good as they are ) Weight is an issue in this kind of sport. I think..... I'm very surprised that their 'weatherproofed' DSLR and DA* lenses aren't a main feature.
