Re: Popular in the 70's?

Thanks for the input.
I'm somewhat risk averse to things I don't have sufficient control of, so though I am fine on steep rock and ice because I can protect it till I feel good (generally), I'm a little squeemish anywhere over low to moderate aval conditions. I'm somewhat afraid that if I purchase a transeiver I'll rationalize that I can venture into conditions that are more risky. Then I guess with a transceiver I can take on riskier conditions without really increasing my net risk of death, compared to staying in safer terrain without one. What to do....
