	UCD Mountaineering Club: Safety Statement
		Any equipment found to be damaged should be retired from use and either permanently disposed of, or clearly marked as unsafe for a particular use.
		However, individuals that are new to climbing or being in the mountains may not recognise many of the less obvious hazards such as the possibility of a simple slip on steep grass leading to an uncontrollable fall, or the danger of stonefall or climbers overhead dropping something.
		Where equipment is kept in a central pool the BMC recommends that regular inspection should be made and full records of the life and usage of the equipment kept and available for inspection.

	Ski Mountaineering Equipment & Information
		Simply stated, ski mountaineering is the use of skis for ascending and descending mountains.
		In the purest form of ski mountaineering, both the ascent and descent of a peak are made entirely on skis, using climbing skins and perhaps ski crampons for traction on the ascent, and then descending a continuous ski route back down to the base.
		The goal of ski mountaineering is to use skis to enhance the overall mountaineering experience by increasing speed, efficiency, and (most of all) enjoyment in the mountains.

	Mountaineering Equipment — Ropes
		The rudimentary equipment employed in the early years of the sport, has now been replaced by the sophisticated array of equipment used today, with a multi-million dollar industry now concerned with the improvement and innovation of designs and materials.
		Climbing equipment has seen some of the greatest changes, including the development of standards and testing methods designed to produce performance criteria for components in such a way as to replicate extreme use.
		Owing to the nature of the activity such developments have reduced, but not eliminated, the inherent risk involved in climbing and mountaineering, and the conflicting requirements on equipment such as strength, weight and ‘nonstandard’ loading have made the composition of such standards problematic.

		In mountaineering, getting from civilization to the base of the mountain often takes longer than from the base to the summit.
		Double-wall tents consist of a dome and a rain fly that can be removed in good weather, whereas single-wall tents use one waterproof-breathable layer of fabric to protect their inhabitants.
		Double-wall tents are more versatile and less expensive; single-wall are often lighter, and thus the primary choice for mountaineers.

	Randonnee AT alpine touring ski mountaineering gear equipment information
		The short of all this was that equipment used for the early Arlberg methods allowed skiers to pull a telemark or cut a parallel turn: versatility similar to today's top-end telemark gear.
		Result: increased popularity of ski mountaineering on free-heel nordic gear (now known as "telemarking," even though free-heel equipment can be, and often is, skied with parallel alpine technique).
		And if you are mountaineering, the AT boot is clearly superior to the ludicrous performance of duckbill telemark boots for rock and ice climbing.
