I thought I'd share this as it's related to the MCR -- promoting safety
in the backcountry.
"Trailex" has just emerged as a grassroots initiative here in the Bow
Valley. If you're planning a climbing trip that takes you through bear
country (i.e., any climb I can think of around here!), you might like to
check it out the night before to see if there have been any recent
dangerous wildlife sightings or signs:
"Trailex is a website that allows trail users to share information about
trail safety in the Bow Valley (from Banff to Bragg Creek). The goal is
to keep humans and wildlife safe. You can view recent postings before
you choose where you want to go. Or you can post a message. Share this
website with all your friends!"
Anyone is welcome to view posts or contribute.
Regards,
Tom Wolfe
