You weren't kidding. The page flipped out when I tried to scroll. Truly pathetic...

I run the NoScript add on in Firefox and that seems to stop the ads. UBlock Origin does its best but, like you said, it's not enough.

Of the total cargo, 7,215 kg consisted of mountaineering supplies, including oxygen cylinders, ropes, and ladders, delivered from Base Camp to Camp 1, while 2,858 kg of waste accumulated at Camp 1 was transported back to Base Camp.

DJI said it aims to remove around 10,000 kilograms of waste from Everest's high camps during each future climbing season.
