So why do you go into the Mountains?

uh, to get the hell away from people who believe in santa claus, easter bunnies, faces appearing in tortillas and big guys in bathrobes that bestride the cosmos yet still bother to get involved in the intrigues of ants

 

that said, crossing under huge icefalls and hearing rocks fall like artillery during the night never fails to lever out a few vestiges of primitive superstition from my divinely-wrought brain-jelly

 

:lmao:Thanks. I needed that.

Sorry if I was obtuse. I was being terminology geek. Yes, there is a formidable crack at the base of this route in winter some years. I did not encounter it this trip.

A garmin rep told me lithium batteries, fresh out of the pack, can have an initial electical spike that can fry the eTrex models. He said they specifically recommend against using lithium batteries. Just what I was told, YMMV.

 

Just a word of caution.

 

When where you told this? The eTrex Vista HCx has a setup option to designate lithium or alkaline.

if god/jesus is such a hot product, one wouldn't have to sell it. it would sell it self.

 

correction, Christians don't sell. They point the way. All we can do is point, it's other people's choices if they want to listen, not ours.

 

Jesus is not a product. He is God in flesh, and took Pink's place on the cross, as all of us. We all deserve what we should get, and I deserve it more than any of you, thank God he is graceful.

 

"THE" Way. No arrogance there.

I own and like the VistaC. Checked out the 60CSx in store and was surprised to see aquisition indoors. My VistaC doesn't do that. The Vista is, as you probably know, lighter and smaller.

[Which Garmin GPS]

Having used multiple units in a variety of applications, I find the compass to be a huge advantage. You don't need it, it just makes things easier. The altimeter on my Vista C works well. The compass can be turned off to save power. I am gear nerd.
