Clavote Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 This is great news! Congratulations and appreciation go to all the SAR groups who were unified in their defeat of this knee jerk legislation by people who do not climb. BRAVO!!! PLB use should be voluntary as it is now. Its a personal choice to choose to take a PLB or not. Mountaineering is a self sufficient sport and a game of choices. The exhilliration one gets from climbing sucessfully and coming back with some nice pictures should not be diluted with the false security of a PLB or legislation to "protect us from ourselves". Let's keep this sport real with all it's attendant risks so that real decisions are made in the moment and not by someone at a desk in Salem or any other state capital. I'm off to play natural selection with myself as soon as possible. Quote
