Don't let this be you. 

Welcome to Conways Corner.  This is an ongoing series of discussions on getting around in the backcountry. Obviously from the TGR perspective, we look at techniques that allow us to enter some pretty radical terrain with the least amount of risk. To that end we will present issues ranging from basic backcountry protocols to advanced techniques. Hopefully by sharing our knowledge and experience we can help others rip in the backcountry without stumbling into an avoidable emergency. Keep in mind; nothing you can read here or in books replaces the training you get in an avalanche, mountaineering, or first aid course. If you are green, get some skills. If you are into the scene, keep learning and share your experience with others.
