Last Monday night due to some mechanical issues and poor visibility we ended up staying on the Mountain. I figured I would share some of our personal flaws and after thoughts. Hopefully it will help someone who has overlooked or forgotten to take the time to think it through. First off I will...
I had originally posted in the Revelstoke thread regarding the failure of my SPOT messenger. I had now diagnosed the failure to the cell phone that was receiving the messages. The following is the EDIT to my original post:

Hi Geoff
