Dear Mystery Monitor, I've cleared the following with Kathy. Full html version in the Tests folder at http://tinyurl.com/ze98fxt http://tinyurl.com/ze98fxt Cheers, Richard __________________________ ANNOUNCEMENT - April 15, 2016 A torn quadriceps tendon in March ended my backpacking for the spring. I'd like to say it occurred when skiing Bridger Bowl's Ridge or scaling a tough climb, but the cause was a bad fall on my way to my woodshed. (Yes, I know I should have been wearing the Crampons . . . . ) On doctor's orders I'm to stay off ice and snow whenever possible, and my rehab is not expected to end for several months. After discussion with BackpackGearTest.org's management we determined that I'll continue this Test when the snow starts settling next fall or winter. I did use the Crampons a couple of times, once on a day hike and once around my yard, and was impressed with their gripping ability and how easy it was to put them on and take them off. Thanks for your patience.
