IceIceBaby Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Insights of the accident at 11worth how many of you think that having fundamental knowledge of aid (i.e. Alpine aid) and back aid is important for your safety and deliverance from dire striate situations? Quote
gnibmilc Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 (edited) strong bouldering skills and shape are probably much more useful... Edited September 3, 2004 by gnibmilc Quote
DPS Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Short answer, yes. Maybe not for most cragging situations but definitely important for the alpine. Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Well said. At crags you can usually lower off a piece, hike to the top and get your gear back. In der mountains, sometimes you have to get to the top to get down. Quote
