Where Did All Our "Regular Trips-On-Schedule Go?"
In exactly ten years since I've been in BCMC (happily joined 2006-08-25), I have seldom seen regimes that actively supported mountaineering, the thing that is supposed to be the core value of this clu...

Climber Dropped When Lowered in Autoblock Mode
This shows again, that simpler is most often safer than exotic. Belaying the second off top anchor on a munter will use much less gear and space: munter needs only one carabiner (as an exercise try to...

Where Did All Our "Regular Trips-On-Schedule Go?"
Hi Bill, All clear, except "private trip" labeling, still waiting for an answer. This has been the subject of many attacks in the past, as long as I can remember. We (I suppose especially those two "o...

Where Did All Our "Regular Trips-On-Schedule Go?"
