    I don’t remember. I think along CA Hwy 50? It was one of those highways on the west slope of the Sierras. It wasn’t particularly tall, but it was in a majestic position right on the edge of a slide and near a scenic overlook.

    Aerial Rescue Challenge from Wesspur and the Ascension Group

    Seems like I’m hearing more of this second rope discussion all the time. I figured it was from inter-industry comingling... SPRAT guys and Arborists chatting and comparing notes, some high-angle rescue influence... I’m not on Facebook, but on podcasts, YouTube, etc., I feel like I’m hearing more...

    When did you first hear?

    Anyone ever forage tree nuts while climbing?

    How far West can you find those? What are they like? I'd imagine kinda like star fruit?

    Anyone ever forage tree nuts while climbing?

    Pinus sabiniana, aka Grey pine, Foothill pine, etc. gets a bad rap with climbers. But the copious nuts from it’s formidable cones are delicious!! For availability and flavor, I’m putting these on par with blackberries and apples!

    Accident report in October TCI Mag.

    As is too often the case, there is not enough information and too few photographs. I have been through dozens or hundreds of “safety stand downs” that have done very little to bolster awareness, because the details are insufficient to clearly illustrate what occurred. Poor or incomplete...
