But when some one drops into a tree well or hits a tree, no one trys to shame them.


... oh just give me the opportunity.

Actually there has been no shaming going on from my perspective. We have just witnessed perhaps the most participated discussion ever to have landed in TAYville. A spirited discussion perhaps but that is far better than a parade of well wishes, pseudo-scientific babble, with-ya-bro comments that avoid the simple and obvious errors that contribute to the same results in the same conditions time and time again.

The biggest decision has already been made when you park the car at the trail head...

And when you head to lower consequence and 'potential of sliding" area, don't drop your guard about localized wind slab formation especially near little terrain traps (even in the trees..).

HEADS UP-- ALL THE TIME!
