How many people who practice with transceivers and shovels and probes do so on 45-55 degree terrain ? I wouldn't rely on possession of avy gear for safety of any kind in that couloir. Just sayin'

I think some people (not you personally) believe that possessing avy gear and rescue training somehow makes them safer on that kind of terrain. It does not.
I won't go up that thing unless the snow is stable. But that's just me

Jeez, for a minute there I thought you might mention the time on Eichorn Pinnacle when I brought a 50m instead of a 60 .. now that would be embarrassing !
