Thanks Bob! It was good to see our old friend the LAMA helicopter still doing the heavy lifting.
The unicore rope from BEAL is long overdue, and will be welcomed by climbers as well as SAR personnel. I wonder if there will be a weight penalty due to the bonding material?
The avalanche beacon segment ought to remind us that it is important to PRACTICE and become proficient with their use BEFORE setting out into the snow country with your climbing companions.
