check out this paper:

[url="http://msi.ftw.at/papers/5_schoening.pdf"]No vertical limit - Conceptual LBS design for climbers[/url]

Abstract
In this paper we present a novel conceptual design for a location-based service (LBS) for climbers. We focus on ideas for LBS in the vertical domain, combing concepts from augmented reality, mobile social applications and multimodal integration. We address problems such as merging paper maps and reality, hands-free interaction, communication in environments without infrastructures, and geosensor networks that provide information on weather and other relevant subjects.

Sorry Ed, but I think my BS capabilities are virtually unlimited! HA!

Funny that you should ask about LEB capabilities on SuperTopo. No wait, that's ADSL. No, it's LDS.

Now I'm really confused. I may have to check in with Locker.

I could see someone useing this in the wilderness, a pair of glasses that gave you all this information.

But wouldn't it be better just to take them off and just enjoy the real thing?

Only thing missing is helmets with blue-tooth.

Take me off belay, over.

Off, love these wind-noise reduction mikes, over.

Yeah, now if Bose could come up with a motorcycle noise limiting headset. On belay.
