Semi-glossy pages, crisp photos and text, worth the $40 but I’m confidant that the $15 black and white version is just as high quality.” Doc Kennedy |

READERS COMMENTS I’ve been reading this edition for the past week or so. It has great descriptions, lots of figures, and well-balanced arguments. For example, Al Warild spends some time on a subject that is sensitive for me. He has a detailed description of cow’s tails where he explains the reasons why we don’t use tape (webbing) cow’s tails for doing rebelays. I’ve long been a proponent of using 11mm diameter dynamic rope. Many will remember sessions at WVACS where I climbed onto a soapbox and tried to convince people to ditch their traditional cow’s tails (made of stiff webbing and manufactured by Petzl, mostly) and replace them with dynamic rope. Al Warild’s argument is much more convincing than mine (he backs it up with break-test data) and hopefully will bring about a change for those who haven’t yet made that transition.
