Leashless and ropeless?

Well, I could send you some cold weather from Hungary, around minus 20 forecasted for tonight, during the day it’s only minus 10!

Petzl Nomic? (I go for the big prize, hopefully something )

Well that ice looks pretty fat and not-so-steep?

Hmm, Petzl axes huh? Given BD the elbow have ya? Although I do agree with leash-less being the way forward – been using leash-less for 18 months and haven’t looked back!
Don’t drop ‘em though! Have you thought about a spinner leash for big routes?

Comment on Adventure Locations by Pete

I have accepted the challenge above – to provide mapped tracks within posts from uploaded GPX files that many GPS devices provide. There are elevation graphs too associated with those GPX files. Check out this adventure for an example…

As for underground elevations for caving, sorry I can’t automate that, as Rachel says GPS does’t work underground. But the software will show them if the GPX file holds the data. So I guess it’s up to you to either manually create or update the GPX file, or to figure out some other way of getting the location and elevation data in to the GPX file while out of sight of the GPS satellites.

With respect to the point in the trace where you go underground (and lose sight of GPS satellites), as the tracking will show named waypoints, I suggest adding a named waypoint at the points of ground ingress and egress.

My pack is on the ground out of shot where I dropped it to get the camera out (which was kindly operated by a lady who, with her friends, was also enjoying the wonderful weather).

Pete, is that the smart look? Light coloured trousers, no hat, no gloves and more importantly no pack (as usual).

Cool
