You're still on the ground. You might be doing the same thing with binoculars? That would still be ground up, but would be with beta.

Does the angle of the view then make it a top down ascent?



WOOT!!!

RAINY DAY POSTING!!!

Après vu! Not onsight, but can still be a ground up ascent

Those things don't tick holds, do they?

Depends on what sized laser-pointer you attach to the helogadget.

You'll have to check with Hedge. He's the only real expert here.

would be kind of convenient for those recon trips where you think the wall would be worth, but you're not quite sure.


Kind of like flying in an airplane taking pics before the trip.
